Former JWT Sydney executive CD Angus Hennah takes executive CD role at Ogilvy Auckland

CB Exclusive – Former JWT Sydney ECD Angus Hennah, who departed the role last month after five years to return home to NZ, has taken the role of executive creative director of Ogilvy New Zealand, a position left vacant since the departure of Damon O’Leary at the end of last year.

Hennah has been awarded at all major and local creative shows including multiple Cannes Lions across Film, Cyber, Outdoor and Media categories. Throughout his career, Hennah has worked on many high profile brands including Nestlé, Kellogg’s, Nokia, Unilever, Energizer-Schick, Ford, AMP, Tourism New Zealand, Land Transport New Zealand, HSBC and The National Bank.

Hennah is a Kiwi returning home with loads of experience in both Australia and New Zealand. He comes to Ogilvy direct from his ECD role at JWT Sydney, where he was key in strengthening the agency’s creative product and bottom line.

Says Greg Partington, managing director for Ogilvy New Zealand: “Angus’ appointment signals another determined step forward in the agency’s plans to bolster its creative department.”

Says Hennah: “It’s great to be back home and part of the Ogilvy team. Ogilvy has a huge multifaceted offering in both Auckland and Wellington and I can’t wait to get amongst it.”

Paul Manning, executive director of Ogilvy New Zealand, says strengthening the company’s creative offering will continue to be the number one priority at Ogilvy with Hennah working across the company’s 360 degree offering: “In Ogilvy we have built an agency with the spirit of integration at its core. Our strength comes from the depth of our capabilities. Angus has a great track record in delivering ideas that span from brand to purchase, and that’s the key to our future. We’re delighted to welcome Angus aboard.”
