Sean Larkin and Adam Whitehead have been promoted. Both have become to creative directors at 303 MullenLowe following the addition of four new creatives to Richard Morgan’s crew.

Larkin joined 303 MullenLowe as head of copy in 2012. Whitehead joined as head of art in 2013. They’ve worked together on some of the agency’s most notable campaigns for clients – Budget Direct, Harley-Davidson and Audi Australia.

“Sean and Adam have proven time and again that they are world-class creatives. They’ve both played an important role in the agency’s growth over the past two years and their commitment to ideas and craft never ceases to impress. With the continued growth of the agency, no one is better suited to help lead the creative department,” Morgan stated.

Before he joined 303 MullenLowe, Larkin held senior creative roles at Publicis Mojo in Sydney and Melbourne, Banjo and Walsh Trott Chick Smith in London. Whitehead worked at Publicis Mojo, Clemenger BBDO and Saatchi & Saatchi in Sydney.

303 MullenLowe has also promoted Joe Van Trump to creative group head, Audi Australia. Van Trump joined the agency in mid-2016 as a senior copywriter.

“Audi has been moving from strength to strength in this market and Joe’s appointment as dedicated group head leading this account will ensure we build on these successes into the new year,” Morgan noted.

The four new creatives are Leila Cranswick, art director; Molly Cathcart, copywriter; Anna Farrell, art director and Davina Milne, designer.

Cranswick, Farrell and Cathcart are all AWARD School graduates of 2016. Cranswick was a top-10 student, while Farrell and Cathcart teamed up after partnering on freelance projects. Cranswick made her move into advertising after eight years working as a freelance photographer in Hong Kong, Dubai and Santiago, Chile.

“All of these promotions and new appointments are part of a wider restructure driven by agency growth and our commitment to working with people who are as fun to work with as they are talented,” Morgan stated.
