Former CHEP and Howatson+White (now Howatson+Company) creative, Ant White, has resurfaced after his abrupt departure from the latter agency he formed with Chris Howatson in February.
Yesterday, B&T received a media statement from Melbourne creative agency Sunday Gravy that named White as creative partner. The release was later retracted by the agency.
Sunday Gravy is owned by White’s brother, Jack.
White confirmed to B&T of the move but declined to make any further comment.
White left Howatson+White abruptly in August with no explanation given by the agency. White has made no comments to media since leaving the agency under a cloud.
The agency was renamed Howatson+Company in September with Chris Howatson the sole owner and director.
In late September, Howatson+Company announced former CCO of Colenso BBDO, Levi Slavin, would replace White as chief creative officer.
