In the Company of Huskies Adds Six New Hires to Creative Team

Independent creative agency, In the Company of Huskies, has added six new people to the pack. The new appointments come as the company won a series of industry awards and new clients last year.

The six new hires will strengthen the agency’s creative department so it can continue to develop world-class creative work. Having racked up multiple awards including 2018 Grand Prix, two golds and silvers at ADFX, won international clients and garnered global recognition for its work, Huskies is embarking on a new era with more creative and social capability than ever. 

Damian Hanley, creative director said: “The new creatives, along with Huskies' recently expanded social team, will be key to building on last year’s success. The agency is focused on having the best talent doing the best work that delivers results for our clients. The new creatives are all very talented and brilliant people to have around, and I am looking forward to creating exciting work with them.”
