Havas Worldwide Australia has announced the appointment of digital creative director team Josh Bryer (pictured left) and Gustavo Vampre (right), as the pair jump ship from their collaborative role at M&C Saatchi to join Havas.

The duo hop aboard the team following notable successes including their co-production of the award-winning digital film and website, The Art of Noise, for Noise International.

Among Bryer’s most recent successes is his work on the award-winning branded content innovation Game of Balls, for testicular cancer awareness organisation, The Blue Ball Foundation. Vampre’s latest work includes the interactive CommBank campaign Where’s My Wallet. Together these three campaigns have netted nearly 100 awards.

Havas Worldwide Australia joint executive creative directors Stuart Turner and Seamus Higgins are confident the pair will quickly make an impact on the agency’s digital work.

Turner said, “We are absolutely thrilled to have Josh and Gus as part of the team here at Havas. They have produced some outstanding digital work in their time and are two of the nicest guys you will ever hope to meet.

“They make a perfect addition to the agency and we can’t wait to see the work they will produce.”

Havas technical director, Matt Watson added, “With our strong Dev and UX offering, Josh and Gus add some real fire-power to our 60 strong digital team at Havas. We are excited to have them on board.”

Bryer and Vampre join the agency with immediate effect and will work across Havas Worldwide Australia’s growing digital portfolio, which includes major domestic and international clients such as Defence Force Australia, Lastminute.com.au and PEUGEOT.
