The Sweetshop Australia welcomes Executive Producer Kate Roydhouse; to be based in Sydney

The Sweetshop Australia has announced the arrival of Kate Roydhouse to their leadership team as Executive Producer. Basing herself in the Sydney office Roydhouse (above) will be a familiar face to many in the industry as she has been working alongside Ben Dailey in the Sweetshop New Zealand office for the last five years.

Roydhouse’s global journey in the advertising realm has seen her work and lead teams in the UK, LA, Spain, Brazil, Australia, and of course, her home town New Zealand. With her knowledge spanning across agency and production company she has an intricate understanding of the creative process.

What truly sets Kate Roydhouse apart is her unwavering commitment to craft, a trait that has not gone unnoticed. She has been a respected jury member for prestigious awards including D&AD, LIA, Spikes, Cyclope Festival (Berlin) and Axis Awards.

Says Greg Fyson (above right), Co-Managing Director of The Sweetshop: “After years of begging Kate to come across to Sydney, she finally relented. I could not be happier, Kate is the best of the best. We cannot wait to get started.”

Adds Edward Pontifex (above centre), Co-Managing Director of The Sweetshop: “After asking Kate if she would like to come over and work with me and Greg, I was pleasantly surprised that she said yes straight away. New Zealand’s loss is very much our gain, we can’t wait for all our wonderful agencies and clients to have the opportunity to work with her, she is ace.”

Melanie Bridge, Global Co-CEO of The Sweetshop, expressed her excitement about Kate Roydhouse’s new role: “Kate leaves hard shoes to fill in the Auckland office, but we are truly thrilled to offer her this opportunity,” says Bridge. “It’s a gift to provide our staff the chance to work across our global offices, and Kate brings so much to the team. I agree with Greg, Kate really is ‘the best of the best’.”
