After two years Dan Ingall departs the managing director role at Cummins&Partners, Sydney, replaced by founding partner Kirsty Muddle
After 12 months of redesigning the offering in its Sydney office, Cummins&Partners, Sydney has appointed founding partner Kirsty Muddle as its new managing director, replacing Dan Ingall, who leaves after two years.
Says Muddle: “Dan is an amazing advertising professional who stepped into a tough role during our disengagement from Vodafone and the departure of senior creative personnel. We can’t thank him enough for his brilliance and patience”.
“Sean Cummins and I discussed implementing a new model that has worked brilliantly in our New York office and it is built around faster, smarter and more accurate solutions to client problems.”
“We have a juggernaut office in Melbourne that covers all the disciplines in the business. With this centralised system we don’t need to replicate production, digital muscle and backend systems in Sydney or New York. So we can travel further faster with a core team that works in a truly unique way. It’s a bit proprietorial so I don’t want to say too much…but speed is the special sauce.
“We have been pitching a lot lately with some exciting announcements to follow…but we feel very energized with this way of working. Clients want answers, fast.”
Says Chris Jeffares, CEO of Cummins&Partners Australia: “Kirsty is an absolute gun, which anyone who knows her will attest to. She is a great leader, great intellect, great friend and great partner to clients. Her recent recognition from the industry as Woman of the Year and Executive of the Year are testament to this.”

Poison chalice. No thanks.
Congrats Kirsty. You’ll absolutely smash it.
good luck with this.
Faster, smarter, more accurate? So previously they were what?
I would watch these guys if i were you. Had done some freelance with them and was genuinely impressed with their process. It was quite exhilarating.

Congratulations, KMud. Well deserved. You’ll smash it!
I’m confused. Hasn’t Kirsty been part of the leadership team in Sydney since the office opened?
“Faster, smarter and more accurate solutions to client problems”
I LOLD.
Welcome! This is campaignbrief, but you can also feel confident referring to it as the 4Chan of ad land.
Throwing shade for little to no reason is kind of a thing around here.
