In October, Ben Coulson resigned from his position as chief creative officer of Y&R ANZ, a role that was created for him in 2011. He had joined GPY&R Melbourne in 2006 as executive creative director.
Coulson was replaced by Y&R New Zealand chief executive officer and chief creative officer, Josh Moore.
Of course, “everyone” wanted to know what Coulson had in his game plan. And now we do.
Coulson has just been appointed chief creative officer of Clemenger Sydney, replacing Paul Nagy, who resigned as executive creative director in November.
Nagy has been at Clemenger for eleven years – five of them at Clemenger New Zealand and six at Clemenger Sydney. He will leave at the beginning of 2017, when Coulson will take the helm.
