Creative talent drain continues at Publicis Mojo as Dean Hunt makes switch to BMF
EXCLUSIVE – Publicis Mojo, Sydney senior copywriter Dean Hunt is set to join BMF on the 20th August, the latest high profile creative to depart Mojo in recent months.
Publicis Mojo regional creative director Darren Spiller left to join Fallon USA in June (Spiller’s role was filled by former JWT worldwide CD Craig Davis), followed by Melbourne senior art director Christy Peacock last month. Earlier this year top creative Mike Burdick was retrenched from the Sydney office, eventually joining DDB Sydney last week.
Described as a ‘sensitive’ creative, Hunt will join Paul Bruce, in what he describes as a “no brainer” decision. Says Hunt: “I’ve always been a fan of BMF’s structure, people skills and ideas. I’m very excited and proud to be invited into such a reputable gang. I can’t wait to get started and am looking forward to having some fun. It’s a fantastic opportunity for me,” says Hunt, while sipping on a Soy Latte.
Hunt leaves Publicis Mojo after a three year stint, working on range of accounts such as Toyota Kluger, Nike, Coca-Cola and Virgin Active Health Clubs.
“I’ve worked with Dean in the past and he’s one of the funniest guys I know. He’ll be a great addition to the culture here at BMF,” said Simon Langley, creative director. “The added bonus is he’s an award winning creative who is passionate about doing great work on big brands.”

Well done Hunty.
A true Gentlemen.
Deano, you’ll kick ass mate.
I am going to miss working with the Funniest Guy in Town! BMF you are very lucky.
Sacha 🙂
You will be missed Dean. Good luck over at BMF.
You guys are lucky to have him.
I once saw Dean crying under a tree holding a dead chaffinch.
Is there a more gentle man in the industry? I don’t think so.
I covet that mans jacket…i must have it! I MUST!
….such a handsome jacket…rugged yet warm and inviting…with plenty of pockets for jelly beans and techno devices.
All the best mate. I’ll miss the brief encounters at Jonnie’s and witty repartee we shared over the froth of a soy latte.
so, four out, one in…..in terms of quality, whilst this is no negative to the great deano, I reckon Mojo have # increased their depth of quality…..Davis would be the biggest OZ hire bar none! (OK, if droga returned that would be up there as well)
Davis is a good hire, sure, but Deano’s a freakin’ legend and BMF are lucky to have him.
Why can’t Mojo hold on to talent?
Barry Frederick is much funnier.
Celebratory tit sandwich anyone?
Soy latte indeed.
Oz is on!
ahhh the leaves, what a wonderful day that was….
Good luck mate, you’ll nail it.
You’ve come along way from running a bunch of the ugliest girls ever seen in a Western themed brothel on the gold Coast.
Congratulations dear boy. A splendid move.
Terence.
