Management buyout at Kastner & Partners
Small independent creative shop Kastner & Partners, best known for its work for Red Bull, has been taken over by its Australian management team.
The management buyout will see the firm renamed O’Shea & O’Brien, or O&O after its managing director Kath O’Shea and executive creative director Ben O’Brien.
The firm will continue work with both Kastner & Partners International and has retained the Red Bull Australia account. Its other foundational clients include Air Niugini and the Centro Shopping Centre Group.
“It’s a great privilege to continue our long term partnership with Red Bull. Indeed, O&O is absolutely delighted to kick off with such a robust and interesting set of foundation clients”, said Kath O’Shea, managing director, O’Shea & O’Brien.
Having worked with Kath in the past, her business nous, integrity and smarts will guarantee success in the new venture. Congrats.
Very best wishes to Kath and Ben.
