Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand have lured several new creatives to their team from other local agencies in recent months. The hires have added three new creative teams to Saatchi’s line-up.
These appointments include Tim Yates – Senior Art Director, Josh Stuart – Senior Copywriter, Claire Herselman – Senior Copywriter, Kat Tadaki – Senior Art Director, Gina Morgan – Art Director and Eliza Romanos – Copywriter.
Yates and Stuart both joined from Y&R Auckland. Previously at DDB Aotearoa for 5 years, Yates recently returned from a seven-year stint at Saatchi & Saatchi Melbourne. Stuart has previously worked in Europe for five years and before that, at Clemenger in Wellington.
Herselman joins from a stint locally with the Monkeys, having returned last year from Sydney where she had been at Ogilvy & Mather. Herselman is joined by Tadaki, returning to Saatchi & Saatchi with 10 years of experience from her time at DDB, Clemenger and Colenso.
Morgan and Romanos most recently joined the Saatchi & Saatchi team, who in their three years at Colenso, worked on some much-loved award-winning projects, collecting the Emerging Talent at AXIS 2020.
Steve Cochran, Saatchi & Saatchi CCO says on the appointments: “We’re feeling as stoked as we are spoilt to welcome such a great bunch of people to The Strand. And now we’re simply excited to see what they do with all the opportunities we have ahead of us thanks to an enviable list of great client partnerships.”
Saatchi & Saatchi has won much new business over the past 12 months including DB EXPORT, Tiger Beer, FIFA Women’s World Cup, Tourism New Zealand, Westpac, Z Energy and global trading platform, Pepperstone.
