One of the Australian marketing industry’s most respected executives is to move overseas to take the helm of a British creative agency.

Lindsey Evans will be leaving her role as GM of marketing at Pacific Brands to become president of TBWA\UK Group.

Evans is British, but has been in Australia for more than a decade during which time she had a winning run as MD of the Sydney office of The Campaign Palace and won a string of awards with the agency she co-founded Happy Soldiers. She was also a board member of The Communications Council.

Her 18 months or so at Pacific Brands was marked by the much talked about The Birthday Project for Bonds.
