The Sweet Shop invites Sydney’s best to the Campaign Brief Creative Directors’ Dinner
Campaign Brief has resurrected the annual CB Creative Directors’ Dinner, last held a decade ago, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Paul Prince and George Mackenzie at The Sweet Shop, one of the top production companies in the world, with offices in Sydney, Auckland, London, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

What agency is Mike O’Sullivan Creative Director of?
Harricks looks nervous. Perhaps because he thought Backy might eat him?
Lynchy, can we see the pics from 10 years ago and do a “where are they now….?” be interesting to see who survived, gave up, got out, or even give a shit…
Sydney’s best?
Why wasn’t I invited?
Great to see the ad industry fostering equal opportunity, where are all the creative women or is this another one of those Campaign Brief boys clubs.
9:04 / crankyshitpants,
Best Sydney CD’s. Yes I’d include Rebecca Carasco in that, but who else would you have liked to have seen?
ah … the night when all creatives across Sydney went home early for once.
Lynchy, can you make this a weekly thing?
interesting question 6.42, 10 years ago? I would say only Welsh, Horner and Branigan were the only CD’s then,,,,,any others?
What about a night just for creatives and no cd’s?
There would be a plethora of awesome t-shirt designs!
Got the rags, 9:04?
4:44 – it’s called the hollywood hotel.
I’ve finally worked out what it takes to be a creative director.
It has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with beards. (With the exception of the beautiful Bec of course).
Here’s a link for those wanting to be cd:
