72andSunny Sydney has promoted Whitney Hawthorn to head of delivery.
Hawthorn was one of 72andSunny’s first team members when it opened its doors in May 2017 and has led delivery for the company’s client partners in the last three years, including Google, eBay, Paspaley, Uber, AFTRS, Mona, Lion and Chubb.
Her 30-year-career includes senior positions with some of the best-regarded creative agencies and production houses in Australia, across an A-Z list of clients spanning a wide range of categories. She has worked at Leo Burnett, JWT, Flying Fish, The Monkeys, R/GA and BMF, as head of content and broadcast production.
“Whitney is a hyper-modern maker and great human in equal measure. She has a fluidity to how she creatively problem solves, and as our breadth of output grows, she is the ideal person to lead drive our collaborative approach to creating. We are glad she is part of our gang.” said Chris Kay, CEO, 72andSunny APAC.
Hawthorn commented: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with some wonderful people at 72andSunny as well as with fantastic client partners over these past few years. It’s exciting working with an agency model that allows for a unique and forward thinking approach to production across any form of deliverable.”
The appointment follows a strong start to 2020, with the news of Luke Martin joining as Head of Product, new client partnerships for 72andSunny Sydney with Chubb, Lion’s Toohey’s Extra Dry and Little Creatures, Infigen and recent work for Google, Uber and Byron Bay Brewery
