Last month, McDonald’s added Wieden + Kennedy to its Australian creative agency roster. The agency has set up an Australian officer with Chris Wilson and Roy Leibowitz as group creative directors; and Jack Elliott and Lochie Newham as senior creatives.

Wilson and Leibowitz join from Big City Business, the independent creative studio they co-founded last year, after nearly three years as creative directors at Clemenger BBDO in Sydney and two as senior creatives at BMF. Their brand history includes TAB, Hyundai, Kia and Tiger Beer.

Elliott and Newham are returning to Australia from Anomaly London, where they spent nearly two years as senior creatives and four in Melbourne at each of Wunderman Thompson and its predecessor, J. Walter Thompson. Their brand history includes The United Nations, Expedia, MINI, Penfolds, and Jetstar, their portfolio spans such as FMCG, automotive, tech, and government, and both have been applauded as AWARD School Tutors of the Year.

Wieden + Kennedy now has offices in Portland and NYC in the US; Amsterdam in the Netherlands; Tokyo, Japan; Shanghai, China, Delhi and Mumbai in India; Sao Paulo in Brazil, Mexico City and Sydney in Australia.
