Clemenger BBDO Melbourne continues leadership team shake-up with new hires

Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has made two senior hires in head of planning Jacqueline Witts and chief operating officer Dave Keating.

The appointments come after the agency has experienced a shake-up in its leadership. CEO Gayle While departed the agency in March, with Clemenger Group New Zealand CEO, Jim Gall, is moving back to Australia to take over the agency.

While was only in the role for seven months after stepping up as CEO following the departure of Nick Garrett.

March also saw Clems Melbourne hire two executive creative directors, Jim Curtis and Ryan Fitzgerald, from Droga 5 to fill the void left by outgoing chief creative officer Stephen de Wolf who left for the CCO role at BBH London.
