Appointed as Managing Director of Clemenger BBDO Sydney during a significant period of change for the agency. The first year's focus was settling the clients, building the right executive team and identifying the right offer for the market. In addition to my appointment as Managing Director, in that first year we also appointed a new Executive Creative Director and a new General Manager/Client Service Director. We started with a brilliant Finance Director, an outstanding Strategic Planning Director and an excellent Production Director. Combined with the new appointments, we were a formidable team. This team remained together for more than five years.

Within the first three years of this new executive team, Clemenger BBDO Sydney was crowned the B&T Magazine "Agency of the Year". Clemenger BBDO Sydney went on to win the AdNews "Agency of the Year" titles in successive years. We were honored with these "Agency of the Year" titles due to our creative quality (awards won), new business success, financial performance, staff and client retention and agency culture. During the mid-noughties, Clemenger BBDO Sydney was a dominant force in Sydney (and our "May Parties" were legend).

The agency also became the dominant Effies (previously AFA Effectiveness Awards) winner year after year including the Grand Prix in 2001 and again in 2008. Clemenger BBDO Sydney also became the biggest single company in the Clemenger Group during this period. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun.
