Both will join Nick Worthington, Steve Cochran and Wayne Pick as the leaders of the agency’s creative function.

Scott Coldham, managing director, commented, “The guys coming home is so exciting. They’ll take us to the next level. We don’t ever want to stand still as a business and these two bring a level of brilliance and experience that will certainly ensure we’re continuing to do our best work in an ever-changing landscape. We’re blessed in this part of the world with our ability to make amazing work with more ease than the larger markets, but in many ways the US is light-years ahead of us – so their exposure and experience up there will definitely benefit our approach to the work.”

Meanwhile, Colenso creative group head, Simon Vicars, and senior art director, Andre Sallowicz, are leaving the agency to join adam&eveDDB in London.

Nick Worthington, creative chairman, commented, “When great people leave it’s hard to watch them go. But when great people leave to work with some of the best companies in the world, to gain invaluable experience, garner knowledge, grow in confidence and produce great work, and we know that one day they may bring those new-found skills back to us here at 100 College Hill, it’s worth it; it makes us a better agency. That’s what’s happened with Levi and Dan, and we hope it will happen in a couple of years with Simon and Andre.”
