After 20 years in Australia 10 Feet Tall strategic director / partner Derek Craig has returned to his native South Africa for family reasons.

10 Feet Tall founder Joseph Meseha told CB that Craig has family issues he is returning for: “But he has not confirmed if he will be staying indefinitely and very well may return to his post at 10 Feet Tall. We will wait and see.”

Craig started his career in 1983 as a copywriter at Ogilvy in Cape Town, going on to the CD role at JWT before an awarded six year stint at The White House. In 1992 he had a three year stint at Berry Bush in Cape Town before arriving in Melbourne to take up the CD role at Leo Burnett.

Six years later he switched to KWP! Melbourne followed by a stint at SEE Advertising.
