\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Award-winning<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t \tAfter an incredible 12-year stint, Executive Creative Director Jordan Sky has left Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand, announcing his departure on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sky, an award-winning Executive Creative Director and Copywriter with more than 25 years\u2019 experience, was promoted to ECD in November 2022<\/a>, having led creative work and teams across some of New Zealand\u2019s most recognised brands, including Toyota, Lexus, Westpac, Chorus and Z Energy.<\/p>\n

Sky wrote on LinkedIn: \u201cPutting the \u2018ex\u2019 in Executive Creative Director. After 12 years at Saatchi & Saatchi NZ I am now officially\u2026 Available. Which is a much nicer word than unemployed.<\/p>\n

\u201c12 years is a long time to spend anywhere. In adland, it\u2019s almost suspicious. But getting to help helm an agency like Saatchi & Saatchi is the kind of thing most creatives only get to dream about. And to be honest, I spent a fair bit of those 12 years wondering how I kept getting asked to stick around. But I\u2019m glad I did. I\u2019ve seen plenty of chapters begin and end in my time, managed to work with some brilliant people, and make some brilliant work too. Hard to ask for much more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before joining Saatchi & Saatchi, he led and grew DDB Aotearoa\u2019s retail offering while also serving as Creative Director on the trans-Tasman McDonald\u2019s account. Prior to that, he worked at FCB New Zealand, Saatchi & Saatchi, Y&R and Ogilvy.<\/p>\n

Across his career, Sky has worked across a broad client base spanning banking, telecommunications, automotive, government, FMCG, tourism, pharmaceuticals and QSR, with his work recognised at major local and international award shows including D&AD, LIA, One Show, Spikes, Axis, Effies and more.<\/p>\n

As for what\u2019s next, Sky says he\u2019s taking a beat: \u201cIn the meantime, to anyone I\u2019ve promised a vague lunch, coffee or drink sometime\u2026 my calendar has suddenly become remarkably accommodating.\u201d<\/p>\n
