Publicis Mojo Sydney creative Justine Armour lands plum gig at Wieden + Kennedy, Portland

CB Exclusive – One of Publicis Mojo Sydney’s top creatives, Justine Armour, who left the agency at the end of September, has landed a gig at Wieden + Kennedy, Portland, arguably the world’s hottest agency.

Amour told CB she will be working on the Chrysler Dodge business and should land in Portland close to Christmas.

As a result, her husband Simon, who is currently a senior copywriter at JWT Sydney, will be eventually be joining her in Portland. 

At this stage it is unclear whether Armour’s former creative partner Ruth Bellotti, who also left Mojo at the end of September, will be joining her – or pursuing other opportunities in the US. Currently Bellotti is holidaying in Positano.

As reported back in September, their departures come just over two months after ECD Micah Walker quit the agency, as reported exclusively by CB back in July, resulting in Mojo regional chief creative officer, Craig Davis taking on creative leadership responsibilities for the Sydney office.

Armour and Bellotti’s lastest work at Mojo was the highly regarded Hahn ‘Pioneering Beering’ spot directed by Tom Kuntz. Another co-creation was the James Boag’s Premium ‘Glassblowers’ spot. Separately Bellotti co-created the awarded Burn ‘Ride’ campaign while Armour co-created the James Boag’s Draught print campaign.
