Mojo Sydney adds Belotti and Ryan to creative ranks; promotes van Nunen to head of art

Publicis Mojo Sydney has strengthened its creative ranks with two key appointments and one promotion.  

Pim van Nunen, who joined Mojo late last year, has been promoted to head of art. He has worked most of his career in Amsterdam as a creative director for agencies including KesselsKramer, PMSvW/Y&R and TBWA\Neboko. He was a founding partner at THEY, and is responsible for many award winning-campaigns including a Gold Lion for Diesel jeans.

In his short time at Mojo, van Nunen (left) has worked on the new ‘Pure Waters’ spot for Lion Nathan’s James Boag’s Draught, and the ‘Man Like Natural’ spot for Speight’s Summit in New Zealand.

British art director Ruth Belotti (far left), who has been freelancing at Mojo and helped create the new ‘Glassblower’ film for Lion Nathan’s James Boag’s Premium, joins the agency in a full time capacity.  Belotti also runs a company, Chinnychinchin, the home of all her ideas that don’t make it into advertising. Her products are sold around the world, including at the Saatchi gallery and Magma in London, M.O.C.A in Los Angeles and here in Sydney at the M.C.A.

Matthew Ryan (above), recently returned to Sydney from stints at Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Boulder,  and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco, joined last week.

In 2010, in response to the media storm surrounding enhanced airport security measures in the US, Ryan co-founded 4th Amendment Wear – metallic ink-printed underclothes readable on TSA airport body scanners.

Says Micah Walker, executive creative director at Mojo Sydney: “What can I say. Lucky us.”
