Clemenger BBDO Sydney has announced it has nabbed four new creatives for its team – the first hires since chief creative officer Ben Coulson joined the agency in February.

Darren Wright (pictured above, right) has joined Clems Sydney as creative director from Grey London, where he was part of its creative leadership team.

The Monkeys’ Michael Pollard (pictured above, centre) has joined the agency as an art director. Prior to moving across the globe from his hometown London, he worked at RAPP London, and will team up with copywriter Salah Ben-Brahimat at Clems Sydney.

DDB Sydney’ Tom Knighton (pictured above, left) has also joined Clems Sydney as an art director, and will team up with copywriter Adam Smith.

And finally, Sophie Horne, formerly Grey, has joined as an art director working with copywriter Ceilia Mortlock.

Coulson said: “Building up a diverse creative team with new talent is a thrill. The guys all bring [a] fresh perspective and a tonne of energy to the agency. We are all looking forward to rolling up our sleeves with the guys.”
