CB Exclusive - Leo Burnett Melbourne has added to its ranks, Auckland mid-weight creative team Jono Aidney (left) and Rob McDowell (right).

The team joined forces two years ago at Sugar Auckland, where they worked on BNZ, TAB Sport and Honda, and produced the award-winning BNZ Literary Awards Live Writing Projection.

Says Jason Williams, Leo Burnett Melbourne's executive creative director: "The boys are a fantastic addition to our place. They are entrepreneurial, hungry and have a great creative pedigree - already kicking goals. In an ever-evolving industry, they come energised for a huge, creative 2013."
