Mescall (left) will replace McCann Sydney creative director, Oliver Maisey, who has returned to his homeland New Zealand after 14 months in the role.

Both offices will effectively function as one creative department under Mescall, with creative leadership in each office. In Sydney, creative directors Joe Hawkins and Kieran Flanagan will report directly to Mescall, as will McCann Melbourne creative directors Pat Baron and Annie Price.

 

Mescall told CB: “This really just formalises the existing working relationship we’ve had between our Sydney and Melbourne offices. In Joe, Kieran, Pat and Annie we’ve got a great range of talents and aptitudes, and for myself it’s nice to be able to call two cities home.”
