AUCKLAND, Today: FCB NZ has announced the promotion of senior creative David Shirley to a creative director role. At FCB since 2015, Shirley will join existing CD Slade Gill, providing leadership across the FCB creative department under ECDs Peter Vegas and Leisa Wall.

Shirley said, “I’ve always been a massive fan of FCB and the great work that’s been made here over the years, so it’s really flattering and exciting to be asked to take some responsibility for shaping its future.” 

“David will continue to work with creative partner Melina Fiolitakis – as half of the award-winning duo, affectionately known as ‘Shirlina’.”

Wall & Vegas said this morning (in a joint statement): “David will continue to work across several of FCB’s major accounts with creative partner Melina Fiolitakis, as half of the international award-winning duo, affectionately known as ‘Shirlina’.

“David is one of those rare finds. He’s an extremely talented creative who crafts his work to the bitter end and he’s insanely fun, which adds so much to the culture.

“We are very excited to see him step up into this new position and spread some of his Shirley magic across the department and the agency.”
