Clems takes over GDP in major move in Brisbane market

Brisbane agency Gallery De Pasquale has been bought by Clemenger BBDO Brisbane in a deal which will see staff and business move across.  

The merger will see the GDP name – itself a product of a previous merger betwen De Pasquale and Gallery –  disappear from the market.

According to an announcement from Clemenger BBDO: “Clemenger’s existing management team of Managing Director Kurt Viertel, Creative Director Jim McKeown and Finance Director Michael Nielsen will be strengthened by the addition of GDP’s Remy Brassac to the newly created role of Client Services Director.”

GDP’s joint creative heads Phil Nobay and Lars Vester will move across as senior copywriter and senior art director respectively.
