Australian-born Jason Romeyko on joining Serviceplan Group after 23 Years at Saatchi’s
New Serviceplan Group Global ECD talks to LBB London’s Addison Capper at Golden Drum 2016
Jason Romeyko left Saatchi & Saatchi after 23 years because “the spirit was no longer the same as when I started,” he told LBB this week.
Speaking at Golden Drum 2016 in Ljubljana, the former Worldwide Executive Creative Director added: “But that’s ok. We all have a right to change and evolve. And besides, I wanted to go and write books anyway.”
He mourned the closing of several Saatchi & Saatchi offices and the eroding “chutzpah” when it comes to clients and creativity, driven by the convergence of the Publicis Groupe’s agency brands. However, the Australian-born, long-time Europe resident was enthused about his new role as Global Executive Creative Director on the Creative Board of the Serviceplan Group.

Smartest and loveliest guy in any agency.
True. I once had a brief encounter with Jason in NY just before he quit Saatchi’s. My gut feeling was exactly that – very smart, sweet and passionate bloke. Hope I get the chance to work with him again.
