M&C Saatchi Melbourne has added to its creative ranks with the appointment of Tessa Midgley.

The senior copywriter moves across from McCann Melbourne. Midgley has previously held roles at DDB and AJF Partnership working with a range of categories and brands including Porsche, Westpac, Lion, Telstra, L’Oreal, tigerair, Victorian Racing Club, WorkSafe, Red Cross Blood Service, ahm, Melbourne University, Bakers Delight and AGL.

Emma Robbins, ECD of M&C Saatchi Melbourne, said: “Tessa is awesome. Not just because she’s a great writer with a really interesting book and way of looking at client’s problems, but because in my conversations with her along the way, she’s also strangely calming. She’s kind of like Byron. But without the two hour flight.”

Midgley said: “As soon as I met Emma, I knew I wanted to work with her. She is exciting, inspiring and has the best eye makeup of any ECD I’ve ever met.”
