BMF has had a spectacular run with Cam Blackley heading its creative department as executive creative director, but all good things have to end sometime, so that new good things can be produced.
Cam Blackley is leaving BMF in March 2018 to join M&C Saatchi as chief creative officer. BMF has already begun its search for a new creative head.
Steve McArdle managing director of BMF, commented, “Cam is a great guy, has built an outstanding team and delivered a great body of work. He’s helped us achieve Effective Agency of the Year and really bring BMF back to its best. Fortunately for us, part of his legacy is a World Class creative department with real strength, depth and diversity of talent at every level. It’s with our thanks and very best wishes that he moves on to pastures new.”
BMF was named Australia’s Effective Angecy of the Year 2017 with ten Effie Awards. His work Blackley’s work has been applauded at every major show globally with wins including a D&AD Black Pencil, three Yellow Pencils and a handful of Gold Cannes Lions.
Blackley commented, “BMF is a brilliant agency, and I’m so proud of what’s been achieved. These four years have flown by, because I’ve spent that time alongside colleagues who are incredibly talented, great people and have a wonderful sense of collective ambition. BMF has a very strong line-up of creative directors in Alex, Jen and Ant with outstanding work already in development for 2018. Hard as it is to leave, I do it knowing that BMF is in excellent form and back to its very best.”
M&C Saatchi group managing director, Russell Hopson, stated, “Cam’s work has delivered brilliant, populist, effective ideas that live and thrive in the modern media landscape. This is precisely what we need to fulfil our goal to be Australia’s most influential creative company. We’re ecstatic to have him and can’t wait until he starts.”
