FCB Wellington has burgled its neighbour, Clemenger BBDDO Wellington, and snatched GM Sean Keaney to fill a similar role in the capital. Kearney starts in December.
FCB ceo Brian van den Hurk says Keaney’s 20 years of experience in advertising and marketing, both at agency and client side, will be a “huge benefit” to FCB’s Wellington clients and the FCB team based in the capital.
Keaney previously held leadership roles in New Zealand agencies RBR, The Tin Drum and DDB Group’s RAPP.
He has spent mcuh of his career working on public sector brands and commercial business.
“I’m really looking forward to working with Brian and the FCB team once again, and now on a permanent basis. The agency has attracted several major clients in recent years, produced some very successful campaigns and now has more government clients than any other agency.
“It’s an exciting time to join an agency that is ranked as one of the top agencies for social change marketing in the world. I’m looking forward to being a part of the team.”
He replaces current GM Paul Irwin, who is moving to Education NZ as GM, marketing & channel development.
