Clemenger BBDO Melbourne hires another duo from London, Jacob Gjelstrup Björdal and Jim Nilsson
Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has hired another creative duo from overseas. Jacob Gjelstrup Björdal and Jim Nilsson have joined the agency as senior creatives from McCann in London.
In September, Cannes Grand Prix winning pair, Dal Evans de Almeida and Michael Hughes, joined the agency from AMV BBDO London.

Both Nilsson and Björdal spent four-and-a-half years at McCann, starting out as creatives and being promoted to senior creatives in December 2017. At McCann, the pair worked on campaigns for Xbox and contributed to McCann London’s first-ever Cannes Grand Prix.
I’m sure these guys are ace, but I wonder if they know what they walked into. Nick gone, the power couple with their hands on the agency, the other ECD – the nice one – left behind, the chairman that speaks in riddles, and no noticeable work coming out for ages, especially on the big accounts, like CUB or NAB. Good luck.
Congratulations Jim & Jacob (and welcome to Australia). I for one will be celebrating the fact that a truly world-class creative duo will be working in this market – look forward to seeing the amazing work guys.
