303 MullenLowe continues to grow with Joe Van
Trump (right) and Nick Plomp (left) joining the agency's creative
department in Sydney.
Van Trump joins 303 MullenLowe from recent
roles at Leo Burnett, where he was co-creative director on Woolworths,
and LOUD Advertising, where he was creative director.
Says
Richard Morgan, executive creative director, 303 MullenLowe: "Joe is a
hands-on creative who can do everything from help craft a great strategy
to shape a brilliant idea. He's collaborative and tenacious - if he
stumbles across a good idea, no matter where it comes from, he'll do
everything in his power to make it happen. We're lucky to have snared
him."
Originally hailing from the United States of Texas, Van Trump was
creative director and managing partner at start-up agency George, later
re-joining DDB Sydney in 2004 as creative group head on McDonald's,
associate director.
Plomp brings a unique perspective to 303
MullenLowe having spent six years editing online culture magazine
Ajanaku.com. He joins from TBWA, Y&R and most recently MullenLowe
Alfred in the Netherlands where he worked across major brands like
Grolsch, LG, Unilever, Danone, Heineken, ABN Amro and many more, winning
awards along the way including Gold and Silver Lions for LG.
Says
Morgan: "Nick has big brand experience and an eye for detail and craft
no matter the media. He's also a culture junkie and a social media
native, which makes him a great fit for us."
Plomp is the second
creative to join 303 MullenLowe from the Netherlands this year, with
Jeena van der Heul joining as interactive art director in May. In the
same month Harry Stanford joined as senior integrated copywriter from
London.
