Keiran Antill is leaving R/GA after one year. He joined the agency as executive creative director in June last year.

Antil will turn his attention now the two companies he co-founded – fitness tech company, www.timebirds.com, which is active in Australia and the US, and specialist consultancy, www.Ne-Lo.com, which “ helps build businesses that people love to engage with and employees love to work for”.

Before joining R/GA, Antil had a nine-month stint from July 2019 as creative director of Tennis Australia and three years as executive creative director at J.Walter Thomson in Melbourne. He was managing partner New York and executive creative director, EVP at Leo Burnett New York for two years from November 2013 after joining the agency in 2006. Antill was ranked #1 art director worldwide at the Cannes Lions Festival in 2010 and #3 in the World on the Gunn report.

Antill stated, “I have great belief in R/GA’s global ambition and capabilities. However, I have conflicting ownership in Ne-Lo.com, which has pending plans to announce its investment into a new brand offering (Syd/Melb). My time gets even fuller as co-founder of timebirds.com which saw a $1.5m funding round in 2020/21. I take a lot of value from my time with the R/GA crew but my passion is with the continued growth of the Ne-Lo Group.”
