DDB Sydney lures Saatchi New Zealand’s Scott Huebscher for creative director role
CB Exclusive – DDB Group Sydney has lured Scott Huebscher from Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand to the role of creative director.
Huebscher previously worked with Dylan Harrison, DDB Group Sydney’s executive creative director while the latter was ECD at Saatchi’s NZ in 2010.
The hire is the latest in a string of new talent recruitment and senior appointments, including the promotion of Kylie Suttor and Scott Smith, and Duncan Shields and Dave Shirlaw to creative group heads.
Says Harrison: “There’s nothing like ‘try before you buy’ in this business, so I’m delighted to hire Scott for a second time. He’s a rare breed of hybrid creative director, a digital native who also gets big ideas. He’s perfect for driving our agenda of innovation across all our clients.”
Says Huebscher: “I’m stoked to be working with Dylan again and to join such a talented team. There’s a lot of positive energy in the building and not just in the creative department; everyone here is passionate about producing smart, world-class work and the recent campaigns that have come out of DDB Group Sydney speak for themselves.”
