CB can reveal that Special Group, Sydney has made its first creative hires – Jack Nunn and Charlie Gearside – a heavily awarded team that most recently worked at M&C Saatchi Sydney and Melbourne, creating campaigns for Google, CommBank and helping to win the Cricket Australia account.

Whereas Gearside (above left) joined the ad industry after five years as a developer/interface designer at several web startups. Last year they were named Cannes Young Lions finalists in both the digital and film categories.

Says Matty Burton, joint creative director and partner: “Jack and Charlie are two very talented, very muscular and very funny individuals. They have fitted in well and are already creating some pretty interesting work for a few of our clients.  Dave and I are secretly incredibly impressed with the guys but don’t tell them that.”
