Saatchi & Saatchi Melbourne appoints Lee Sunter to CD role + hires creative team from BETC Paris

Saatchi & Saatchi has announced new appointments to the Melbourne creative department. 

Lee Sunter has joined in the role of creative director after an illustrious seven-year career at Clemenger BBDO Melbourne.

With over 15 years’ experience in the UK and Australia, Sunter has worked on a wide range of clients including Snickers, Tourism Victoria, T-Mobile, CUB and The Guardian. Over the years his work has been recognised at all the major creative and effectiveness award shows, including Cannes, The Webbys, Effies and D&AD.

Says Sunter: “There is never a good time to leave a great agency, but the vision ECD Simon Bagnasco and the leadership team have for Saatchi’s Melbourne was damn hard to turn down. I’m now looking forward to helping create some iconic work across their great portfolio of clients.”

Also, recently joining the department are Helene Colin and Samantha Alexandre from BETC Paris where they worked across Amnesty International, Total, AIDES and the Olympic Games.

Says Simon Bagnasco, ECD, Saatchi & Saatchi, Melbourne: “Lee, Helene and Sam are three incredibly talented people who we know will live up to the ‘Nothing is Impossible’ spirit of Saatchi & Saatchi.”
