Back to where it all began: Leo Burnett Sydney boosts its ranks with return of EP Bill Doig

Leo Burnett Sydney has announced the appointment of Bill Doig as executive producer, broadcast and content.

Marking a return to the agency where Doig began his career in 1992, Doig brings with him more than two decades of experience gained locally, in Europe and the US working on an extensive blue chip client list and winning numerous awards.

Most recently, Doig completed a three-year stint at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Europe where he delivered region-wide work for the likes of Burger King and Milka/Kraft as European production lead, also leading global productions for Microsoft Windows out of the US.

Prior to that, Doig spent nine years as a senior producer with Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney, leading agency productions for clients including Sony, Toyota, Procter & Gamble, General Mills, Tooheys, Foxtel and David Jones.

Says Andy DiLallo, chief creative office Leo Burnett Sydney: “We waited to find exactly the right person to fill this role and are thrilled to welcome Bill back to the team, after a long absence. He started his career at Leo’s Sydney back in 1992 running despatch, and also spent time in the Leo’s London office, so knows our culture very well. His breadth of international and local experience and the quality output he has delivered for leading global brands will be a key asset to the agency and our clients.” 

Doig said he was enticed by the opportunity to join such a talented and respected creative team at a truly integrated agency.

Says Doig: “I came home to Sydney to re-join Leo’s because Andy and his team are doing the best work in the region hands down. The production landscape continues as ever to evolve presenting amazing crossover opportunities, and I’m excited to be a part of the Burnett’s crew.”
