DiLallo
M&C Saatchi has poached Leo Burnett’s chief creative officer Andy DiLallo, appointing him to the newly-created role of chief creative officer.
DiLallo, one of the most highly awarded creatives in Australia, joins the agency after eight years with Leo Burnett. He has also worked with JWT and Saatchi & Saatchi.
Tom McFarlane, who remains as M&C Saatchi regional creative director said: “After searching locally and internationally for over 12 months, Andy remained our target. His creative credentials, leadership experience and global perspective made him the perfect candidate for the job.
From what i hear, it’s good for BOTH companies.

Heading up to the big end of town Andy? Go well mate.
Guess he didn’t want to work for Australia’s leading retail agency…
Congrats Andy. Big move.
All the best Andy. Been great working with you on Samsung.
Andy is one of the most inspirational creative directors I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
M&C don’t know how lucky they are.
All the best Andy, you’re going to fly.
Congrats mate. Loved my time at Leo’s thanks to you.
The great thing about this is it keeps guys like Andy in Oz. There’s only so many agencies here with the wherewithal to accommodate the Andys of our industry, so this is great news for all of us.
I agree with Sue.I also congratulate M and C for resisting the temptation to fly in another fabulous nobody from OS as so many agencies have done with little success over the past few years.
But that wouldn’t be a very Tom Mc thing to do.
A long way from Old El Paso.
Wow, M&C and A, lethal combination.
This is big news for all involved.
M&C Saatchi have pulled off a master stroke.
All eyes on Andy now. He’s got big shoes to fill.
And on Leo Burnett. Looking forward to see their succession plans. Do they include for Tod?
We’re starting to see the Woolies effect. They broke Droga and now Leo. It’s time for a different type of retail relationship. Leo need to learn from Droga’s mistake.
