More Saatchi NZ defections as Angus Wardlaw departs creative director gig after only 6 months

In yet another defection from Saatchi & Saatchi Auckland, top creative Angus Wardlaw, who departed CHI, London tojoin as creative director in April this year, has left the agency, and will be on gardening leave for next two months.

Wardlaw was originally brought in to partnerTim Huse, both reporting to ECD Dylan Harrison, but soon after Huse left to take up the CD gig at Sugar. Since then, CB hears the relationship between Harrison and Wardlaw has deteriorated, resulting in the latter’s departure, only a month before Harrison himself departs, just seven months into the job, to take the ECD gig at DDB Sydney.
