Bell wrote: “Earlier this year I wrote a short tale about my first day in advertising, some 40 years ago. Today I am officially stepping down from my role as Executive Creative Director MercerBell, the Sydney based agency I started with Nick Mercer over 20 years ago.
Congratulations, David.
You and Nick and the Mercer Bell team grew tall, but never grew too big for your boots.
You kept your principles intact while you managed to attract clients and staff of a high calibre
I remember working with you in the early days and liking your clear-headed thinking, and your work ethic.
Twenty years in this business is more like thirty in any other businesses. Anyone over 40 is old. Yet you still have a fire in your gut that will take you to your next venture knowing you’ve made a success of a start up.
Regards
David Morris
