Says Peacock: “I’ve been on the road for a few years now growing my career, my experience and clients’ businesses but the time has come to get my family settled back in Australia in time for my girls to start high school. I look forward to bringing my experience and knowledge to Brisbane where we will live. It’s been an awesome 3 years for us here in NZ and we’ve loved every minute of it. I leave TBWA\NZ in a strong position for success and I look forward to watching them to grow and prosper over the years ahead. I only wish I could take the whanau that I’ve made at the agency with me.”

During his time at TBWA\NZ Peacock’s creative leadership was instrumental in helping ANZ become the number 1 preferred bank in market. Peacock helped grow TBWA by winning ILNZ brands last year. These brands included Asahi, Carlsberg, Boundary Road Brewery, Estrella Dam, Long White vodka, Somersby, Cody’s and Woodstock.
