Says Ben Lilley, chairman and CEO, McCann Worldgroup: "Jerker's appointment is
part of McCann's continued investment in world-class talent, which over
the past year has included our Sydney MD Adam Lee, Strategy Director Ian
MacDonald and our rapidly growing media team headed by Lyndell Sawyer.
Like them, Jerker is a first-rate talent who will no doubt have a huge
impact on our clients' business. Plus he has the most awesome name in
advertising."

"Jerker is a natural leader with the right kind of skill set across
creative, technology and strategy that today's marketing challenges
require. I believe our clients will love working with him, because he'll
bring great creativity, intelligence and passion to bear on their
business."
Says Fagerström: "McCann is doing great innovative
work across creative, digital and media, and it is an immense privilege
to be part of this team. I am a huge believer in the potent combination
of creative and technology, and I look forward to working with existing
and new clients to help them create great work that works."
Says
Rasic: "I'm proud of the work I've managed to help get out and the
creative department is in fine form with a great bunch of thinkers who
will continue to carry the agency forward."view more - Hires, Wins & BusinessMcCann Sydney, Thu, 19 May 2016 10:33:48 GMT
