Hardhat ECDs Andy Segal and Chris Hince set to depart the agency after four years

After four years with Hardhat, executive creative directors Andy Segal (left) and Chris Hince (right) are set to depart the agency.
The creative team, who have worked with each other for a decade, joined Hardhat in 2009 as associate creative directors and were promoted to ECDs last year to lead the agency’s brand creative offering, alongside ECD Reece Ryan, who leads experience and CX.
In their time at Hardhat, Segal and Hince led the charge across major campaigns and accounts including Dare Iced Coffee, DocuSign, Willed and Lilydale.
Says Dan Monheit, founder and CEO, Hardhat: “Andy and Hincey are two of the most talented, most lovable guys going around. We had an incredible, transformative four years together and the agency today is lightyears from the one they joined back in 2019. I’m thankful for the time we spent together and wish them every success going forward.”

Well done guys. I saw dedication and passion through my eyes. From personal experience, it’s no small thing helping an agency evolve and punch up. Genuine kudos.
I knew Chris at Clems Melbourne in the early naughtiest. You wouldn’t find a nicer guy.
Could not agree more
Two of the best
One of Melbourne’s best teams… very interested to see where they land.
A crazy smart, super talented, professional, loyal and hard working team who will make waves wherever they land.
One thing’s for sure, whoever snares these guys has won the lottery.
the best!
Any speculation on where they’re off to?
Or do we have to wait until tomorrow’s release?
will we see a new agency on the Island Chris ? Cmon!!!!!!
Great guys! These 2 are brilliant to work with.
