FCB creative team Peter Vegas and Leisa Wall have been promoted to creative directors after a collective 16 years at the agency.
The
pair most recently held the titles of creative group heads. This move
will now see them provide further creative leadership across the whole
of the business, under executive creative director, Tony Clewett.
Says
Clewett: "Pete and Leisa are one of the cornerstones of FCB's creative
department. They're relentless in their desire to push for bigger and
better things from the teams and these new titles acknowledge their
leadership. From an agency perspective, they are also an integral part
of our culture."
Both Vegas and Wall have worked on a multitude of stand out campaigns
during their time at FCB, including Cannes Lion winning campaigns for
SPCA NZ: 'Driving Dogs' and 'Go Balls Out' for the Testicular Cancer
Foundation and most recently the hugely popular Mercury 'The Great
Escape' featuring Evie, the electric classic car.
Vegas and Wall
will continue to provide the creative lead for a number of FCB's major
accounts including Air New Zealand, PAK'nSAVE, Mercury and Testicular
Cancer, as well as assisting in the department's leadership.
Speaking
on behalf of the creative pair, Wall said: "Vegas and I are big fans of
FCB. We get to work on some famous brands alongside some awesome
clients. So when Tony gave us the chance to be more front seat we said
hell yeah!"
