TBWA/Sydney ECD Wesley Hawes Departs For Marcel Sydney

Wesley Hawes, the former Joint-Executive Creative Director of TBWA/Sydney, has departed the agency to join the management team at Marcel Sydney. Hawes will take up a deputy ECD role working alongside ECD Scott Huebscher and Marcel Creative Chairman, David Nobay.

The former Lynx/Axe global creative director (pictured above right with Scott Huebscher) spent eight years at BBH London before joining TBWA/Sydney in 2014.

In the two years under his leadership the agency won over 20 pitches, several Agency of the Year nominations, and numerous awards at Cannes, Spikes Asia and ADMA AC&E. At BBH London, Hawes and long-term creative partner Gary McCreadie were responsible for the Axe Apollo Space Academy campaign that picked up multiple lions at Cannes.

“I’ve enjoyed great success at Whybin’s, both creatively and from a new business perspective, but part of me wanted to get back into the engine room,” Hawes said.

“What I like about Marcel is the structure feels super collaborative and immediate. Scott and Nobay still write and Iona and Gav write briefs. I missed this direct involvement in the work and the crafting process. I don’t think any other agency in Sydney offers clients such direct access and consistent involvement from their senior talent.”

Huebscher added, “I know what people are going to say… ‘Does Marcel really need more senior people?’ And to that I would say ‘No, we don’t.’  But we didn’t go looking for senior people.

“We went looking for the smartest, nicest people out there.  And we found that in Wes.”

Hawes joins Marcel in mid-January as deputy ECD. He’ll be working with the management team across all clients and new business opportunities.
