R/GA executive creative director Kieran Antill departs R/GA Sydney after a year in the role

After a year with R/GA, executive creative director Kieran Antill has departed the agency.

Prior to joining R/GA in June last year,  Antill co-founded two companies, both of which has seen significant growth in the last twelve months. www.timebirds.com – a sports tech company – raised 1.5 million to see its first-generation timers hit the market in Australia and now the US and www.Ne-Lo.com an innovative consultancy that help businesses differentiate themselves through their customer and employee experience, which has also seen continued success with Ross Hastings at the helm.

Antill’s background spans a number of leadership roles: leading creative teams at Leo Burnett New York and JWT Melbourne as managing partner and ECD and executive creative director respectively. He also held the role of creative director of Tennis Australia for the 2019 Australian Open.

Antill has previously been ranked as the #1 art director worldwide at the Cannes Lions Festival and #3 in the World on the Gunn report – later acknowledged by the Australian government publication ‘Australia Unlimited’ as one of Australia’s top creative exports.
