After Eight Years Executive Planning Director AI Crawford to Depart Clemenger BBDO Sydney
After eight successful years at Clemenger BBDO
Sydney, executive planning director AI Crawford has decided to leave the
agency, effective April.
Says CEO Andy Pontin: "AI is one of the
great characters of this industry. I've absolutely loved working with
him and I reckon he's made me belly laugh on every single day of the
last 8 years. His intellect is phenomenal so however or wherever he
chooses to apply that brain after a break will be a huge success.
Hopefully it is somewhere within the Clemenger and BBDO worlds."
Under
Crawford's strategic leadership Clemenger BBDO Sydney has won multiple
Effies, including the Grand Prix and Effectiveness Campaign of the Year,
as well as being recognised at Cannes, D&AD, Spikes, Webby's, Award
and numerous other award shows.
Crawford's career has spanned stints at BMP DDB in London, Saatchi and Saatchi Sydney and DDB Sydney, where he was Head of Planning across the DDB Group, as well as being on the DDB Sydney board and the Planning Futures Group, the global thinktank for the DDB network. Crawford left DDB for Clemenger BBDO Sydney in July 2008.
