“And you know, it’s particularly nice to reward someone within the network” added Magnus.

Hennah’s pedigree is extensive. He’s worked at Clemenger BBDO in Sydney and Wellington; made the top ‘Workers’ list in Campaign Brief’s The Work every year since 2004 – and was the lead Creative on NZRU’s winning Rugby World Cup 2011 Bid.

Hennah’s work has been recognized at all major local and international award shows including; Clio, One Show, D&AD, AWARD, Axis, Effies and Cannes – including a Silver Lion at Cannes for the Ford Mondeo Balloons viral in 2008.

Prior to taking up the Deputy CD role at JWT New Zealand, Ogden workedat DDB Sydney for over ten years after beginning his career in the UK,spending ten years at Bates and BBDO. Ogden’s work has been recognizedat D&AD, One Show, Clio and AWARD.

Says Simon Fitch, JWT New Zealand Managing Director: “Peter has made anenormous contribution to the agency and our clients since his arrivalat the agency. With Angus taking over the JWT Sydney ECD role, Peter ismore than ready to take the helm in the creative department.”
