BWM supercharges its Sydney shop with five new appointments including Andrew Ostrom, Nick Levey, Zac Pritchard, Sam Grant and Fee Millist
BWM is ringing in the New Year with an explosion of talent as five supercharged creatives move into the Sydney office, expanding the team’s integrated capabilities and creative finesse.
The new appointments include creative director Andrew Ostrom, creative director Nick Levey, copywriter Zac Pritchard, and Sam Grant and Fee Millist who will be working as a junior art director and junior creative copywriter duo.
Ostrom joins the BWM clan with 17 years’ experience as an art and creative director. Ostrom has overseen a range of creative work for top Australian brands at agencies such as Ogilvy, BMF, Naked Communications and M&C Saatchi. He is also an entrepreneur in his own right, having co-created PushPLayUnderwear.com, a successful e-commerce underwear brand.
Another senior creative talent, Nick Levey, joins BWM with over 15 years of experience in the industry. Levey is a creative powerhouse that most recently worked as a creative director at UDKU on a special collaborate app project to assist the blind and vision impaired with Y&R Singapore and VML Kansas. It was a finalist at Cannes in the Innovation Category. He has also worked for the likes of DDB, The Monkeys and BMF.
Joining the suite of fresh faces is the talented Pritchard from Charles Sturt University. Pritchard has previously worked for the Australia Radio Network, the Boiler Room and Gorilla Communication, where he worked on clients such as Four Seasons condoms.
Grant and Millist are the newest additions to the BWM creative team. Grant has a background in film and TV production and previously worked at Momentum, whilst Millist comes from the latest batch of 2013 AWARD School Graduates.
Says Rob Belgiovane, chief creative officer: “With BWM continuing to win new business, these five new hires will play an integral role in ensuring our business continues to expand, with new ideas that thrill, engage and surprise and get Australian’s talking in 2014. Andrew, Nick, Zac, Fee and Sam are all powerhouses of creativity, and are a very welcome addition to the BWM creative clan.”
The new talent joins a slew of new creatives who came on-board at BWM this past year including ex Jack Morton creative director Tom Manion, creative directors Kevin Macnamara and Sean Lavery as well as BWM/ Sputnik digital creatives Adam Gustella and Tom Hartney.
