Havas ECD Steve Coll to join Droga5 Sydney

Steve Coll is set to take the creative helm of Droga5’s Sydney agency as part of a restructure, with the executive creative director set to leave Havas after three and a half years.

Coll has been a central part in the reinvigoration of Havas, formerly known as Euro RSCG, spearheading a range of bold and innovative campaigns for the agency including the Virgin Mobile ‘Fair Go Bro’ and Durex ‘Fundawear’ work, with the Sydney office the most-awarded of the Havas network at last year’s Cannes Lions.

Havas was recently appointed to the Defence Force Recruitment account while Droga5 looks set to lose much of its grip on the Woolworths account after Leo Burnett was added to the roster.

The restructure will also see founding creative partner and ECD Duncan Marshall taking on a regional role working across Droga5 partners with William Morris Endeavour and IMG.
