McSweeney appointed creative director at McCann Sydney - replaces Ingvoldstad, who moves to McCann CRM specialist MRM Worldwide
Vince McSweeney has transferred from the McCann Melbourne CD gig - where he has been for four years - to the role of McCann Sydney creative director, replacing Erik Ingvoldstad, who will concentrate on the
creative development within the CRM sphere - including search, direct,
social and data - for McCann CRM specialist MRM Worldwide. McSweeney is on the McCann Regional Creative Council and has been the recipient of a number of creative awards - both client and industry - as well as a prestigious HK McCann Award - one of only a handful given globally each year for truly outstanding performance.
Says Chris Mort, McCann Worldgroup CEO: "Vince is a tremendous talent and McCann Sydney is very fortunate to have him in the CD role. His contemporary multi-discipline approach to creative coupled with an ever present competitive streak makes him a great leader and asset."

And the price of a CD plummets south...
Just like JWT. A cheap option shuffling from within. Won't change anything.
What happened to Scot Waterhouse? Surely his record speaks for itself. And what happened to Mike Thomas former ECD there?
What happened to Scot Waterhouse? He was at McCanns. Surely his record speaks for itself. A top bloke too. And whatever happened to Mike Thomas who was ECD there last year?
No need to get your knickers in a knot Craig because Scot has a fan club.

McCann Management thought hiring a guy from O/S was the way forward. They got it wrong. They got it wrong. They got it wrong.
