BMF appoints ex-DDB Sydney creative team – copywriter Jim Curtis and AD Ryan Fitzgerald
BMF has hired a new creative team, Jim Curtis (far left) and Ryan Fitzgerald (near left) formerly at DDB Sydney.
Across their careers, copywriter Curtis and art director Fitzgerald have created major campaigns for a wide range of clients including: Volkswagen, McDonald’s, Arnott’s, George Weston Foods, Telstra, Cadbury, the Australian Defence Force, the AFL and Schweppes.
Most recently the creative team’s work for Volkswagen’s fatigue detection technology won two Silver Radio Lions in Cannes and was Mumbrella Radio Ad of the Year. Their work for Arnott’s, ‘Camouflage Packs”, also picked up two shortlists in Direct Lions. In 2013, Curtis and Fitzgerald were named in B&T’s 30under30 and were selected to represent Australia at the Adfest Young Lotus competition. Their work has also been recognized at AWARD, New York Festivals, Spikes Asia, The Work, The Sirens, The Caxtons, the MADCs and the Effie Awards.
Says Justin Ruben, creative director: “Jim and Ryan’s book showed a level of insight and craft that was way beyond their years. We’re delighted to welcome them into BMF to exercise their creative talents into our department.”
Both originally from Melbourne, they’re still aiming to enter the AFL draft as mature age recruits.
