M&C Saatchi appoints Abby Clark and Laura Murphy to creative team

M&C Saatchi has announced the appointment of Abby Clark and Laura Murphy to the agency’s creative department.

The pair move from Mediabrands Content Studio, where Murphy was an art director and Clark a copywriter. They previously joined forces at the digital and tech-focused CX agency, CX Lavender.

“We believe in creating ideas that solve business problems to create an advantage for our clients and genuinely impact society," said Clark. "The unique capabilities of M&C Saatchi Group allow us to deliver this in exciting new ways.” 

"We’re thrilled by the opportunity to collaborate within such a dynamic environment and draw on the diverse capabilities to offer connective creativity from our new home," added Murphy.

National executive creative director Scott Dettrick commented: "we are excited to welcome Abby and Laura to the team. They are both curious and provocative thinkers with a keen eye for what's coming next in advertising. We look forward to seeing the great work they will undoubtedly produce.”

The appointment follows Nick Jacobs' May promotion to chief strategy officer of M&C Saatchi Australia and New Zealand, three months after Emily Taylor left the post.

In April, M&C Saatchi Group appointed Rob Doubal and Laurence Thomson as global joint chief creative officers. The duo, known in the industry as Rob and Lolly, moved from their previous roles as joint CCOs and co-presidents at McCann London.

Last week, M&C Saatchi’s Greenhouse Collective – a bespoke model for Woolworths – launched the supermarket giant's latest campaign, Fresh Fuels the Best in All, ahead of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, fronted by Australian Paralympian Col Pearse.
