Sarah James to lead Dentsu Aegis Network’s bespoke agency for Woolworths
Carat’s chief digital officer Sarah James will relocate from Melbourne to Sydney to head up Dentsu Aegis Network’s bespoke Woolworths@DAN agency.
As part of the shuffle, Brendon Cropper, currently Carat’s chief data and customer experience officer, will take on the agency’s digital responsibilities, previously fulfilled by James.
Woolworths@DAN will be based in Sydney and will source talent from the network’s agencies including Carat, Amplifi, Amnet, iProspect, Columbus and Posterscope.

So a collection of people from other agencies on other accounts pretending they’re servicing Wollies fulltime. What a great business model.
It’s Woolies genius…
Karma. Perfection.
Think you mean Brendon Cropper??
Thank you, Fact Check. We’ve fixed the mistake and our apologies for the error.
Boom! Well done SJ, you’re going to kill it

Great hire. SJ, you deserve every success!
Woolworths are lucky to have you leading their business from a DAN perspective and Sydney, you’re lucky to have one of our most respected and loved media talents.
