18 Feet & Rising Sydney shock as co-founder and executive CD Dejan Rasic announces departure

Executive Creative Director of Sydney agency 18 Feet & Rising, Dejan Rasic has announced his decision to leave the agency to pursue other opportunities after six years with agency partner and CEO Ben Colman.

Rasic’s day-to-day creative responsibilities will be handled by 18 Feet & Rising creative director, Derrick Kim until a replacement for Rasic’s position is confirmed.

In October last year 18 Feet & Rising, London acquired a stake in Colman and Rasic’s former agency Colamn Rasic. Colman Rasic rebranded as 18 Feet & Rising, Sydney so as to create one unified proposition working cross border.

Says Colman: “Dejan has been an outstanding creative partner over the past six years and leaves a great reel behind him. The time is right and Dejan is off to seek new adventure. Everyone at 18 Feet & Rising wish him the very best of success.”

Says Rasic: “I’ve had a wonderful time working with the team at 18 Feet and Rising. I’m also proud of what I’ve achieved as ECD there, however the time has now come for a new endeavour.”
