Leo Burnett promotes Stacey Karayannis to creative director

Leo Burnett Australia has promoted associate creative director Stacey Karayannis to the position of creative director in Melbourne.

Karayannis joined the ad industry after graduating from AWARD School, becoming part of the Publicis-owned creative agency in 2015 as an art director. Since then, she has worked with clients including Diageo, HBF, and Vitasoy.

During her tenure in the industry, she has earned recognition for her work as a One Club Next Creative Leader and at awards such as the Clios, One Show, and Spikes.

"We’re thrilled to give Stacey this well-deserved promotion to creative director," said Leo Burnett Australia chief creative officer, Andy Fergusson.

"Over many years, she’s proven to be extremely talented and creatively ambitious. And perhaps more importantly, she really cares about the people and culture of the agency. I’m excited to see her grow as she moves into this new role.”

Speaking of her new role, Karayannis commented: “I have been lucky to have worked with some brilliant humans during my time at Leo Burnett. Going full circle, I hope I can pass some of that brilliance on. I look forward to creating more great work with the team.”
