Cummins & Partners will launch a Sydney office in January next year following the agency winning the Vodafone creative account last week and have appointed Kimberly Bartkowski in the newly created national role as digital creative director to work out of the new office.

Confirmation of the opening comes two years after Sean Cummins told Mumbrella he would open a branch of the agency, founded in Melbourne, in New York before Sydney. The New York office opened in May.

Bartkowski joins the agency from Publicis Kaplan Thaler in New York, where she has spent the last two years as group creative director.
