GPY&R BRISBANE ATTRACTS TOP UK TEAM
GPY&R Brisbane has appointed award winning creative team Andre Hull and Lee Sunter. Hull and Sunter bring with them considerable digital & interactive experience on global brands and are both highly awarded. They will work closely with local GPY&R CD, Tim Green and Head of Digital, Rob Hudson.
Says GPY&R Managing Director, Phil McDonald: “Most recently Andre and Lee have been working at specialist digital shop; Publicis Modem in London. They’ve won at D&AD among other shows and they bring the creative firepower we need to bolster our digital & interactive team.”
“We’re committed to attracting outstanding talent to our agency and fresh, young creatives like Andre and Lee are great for our clients and our people, but hopefully in the long run this type of thing is good for the local industry too. We’ve all got a role to play in deepening the talent pool here.”
Hull and Sunter join the agency next week.

Man, these guys look well cool, innit.
Brisbane??? why?
because is sydney is full of wankers.
Hilarious. Utterly hilarious.
Brilliant! It’s the return of the old 80’s ‘hanging around on the fire-escape looking all Zoolander’ team photo. Comedy.
Funniest photo on the blog ever. Well done guys.
so… many…. comments…. on lame photo…. can’t… choose…
How can two people take themselves so seriously?
chic, chicka, chickaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
looks like there will be more great work coming out of Brisbane then just like that um… ahh.. can’t think of one actually.
You mean that thing that won a gold young gun from Brisbane. Oh and that other thing that won at award last year. That’s right, that piece that won at caxton as well. Why the hell would anyone come to Brisbane?
Brisbane is the only place to work. Sydney keeps calling me back and all I can say is no fucking thanx.
Lynchy, promise you’ll never destroy this photo – it’s pure gold
Publicis Modem have a pretty average reputation in the UK – its only improved recently since Modem Media acquired so surprising that these guys *chose* sunny Brisbane rather than stay in London…. [penny drops]
Lynchy do us a favour. can you add catmurs photo to this page. y’know the shot where his head looks like a 2 tonne pumpkin. Then we can vote on which is the funniest. I’m voting for stareboys but it was line ball.
Advertising duo orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr indie try hards? Art direction on the photo is TOO funny!
They don’t look very happy about going to GPY&R. I don’t blame them.
I like his little beard
`Great album cover. Best of Eurovision ’87.
Humidity will kill ’em, if the Broncos fans don’t.
With a photo that cool you’d think they’d be heading to BMF. They’d fit right in there by the looks of that shot.
3.06 – Jeez, I hope Christian doesn’t leave or we’ll all be screwed.
Such wankers.
No…you bloggers. I know these guys, they’re good blokes.
Typical Aussie tall poppy strikes again. Well done Australia. You’ve again made us look more like the tossers we’re seen as.
CB. Can we stop this blog stuff, just to save the Tall Poppy thing getting worse than it is?
look how he has his little fingers hanging outside the pockets. he must be the art director.
oh boo-hoo!
its someone thats not an aussie! – lets give them some stick.
jeeeeesus.
lets see if you can make it to 99 comments like you did with the CommBank blog.
never known a country that is so insecure and threatened by outsiders.
Photo has been done.
Lamal, Never ending story, circa 83-4.
I think they look fine.
I think all these anon bloggers bagging them sound like insecure dicks.
What so you’re not allowed to sit on a staircase and have your photo taken?
12.18, no you’re not allowed to sit on a staircase to have your photo taken. It was made illegal back in 1992.
Welcome to Brisbane anyway Andre and Lee. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do here. All the best.
I’m curious, is this an ad they’ve shot with models or are they the creatives?
4:19 it’s Limahl – Never ending Story was written by Giorgio Moroder – Moroder rocks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3khTntOxX-k
also Homer Simpson did try to sue the producers of the “NeverEnding story” because it ended
Wrong, 9:48, wrong. Homer went to Lionel Hutz to sue over being ejected from an “all you can eat” restaurant before he’d had all he could eat. During initial discussions, Hutz mentions: “This is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the movie The Neverending Story.”
its Sunday night. Surely they’ve resigned already.
So he finally took off those yellow glasses!
Kajagoogoo -Too Shy
7.44, the humidity won’t kill ’em. Those digital folk work in dank dark cellars with no windows- it’ll be just like England for ’em.
And what’s the problem with knocking poms? It’s written into our national constitution.
6 months on a 457, talk the agency into moving you onto an 856 PR. bingo, you’re free to work where you like
Hey Campaign Brief, how about digging out The Best Advertising Portraits Ever? May I suggest starting with Maurice and Charles Saatchi circa 1979?
what a shame there was no one good enough in Australia eh – there we go lagging behind as usual – no wonder so many of our local boys are unemployed – just not good enough – isn’t that right Phil….
Daz and Adam are much cuter!
Andre, if you’re reading this: “Oy, eggy!”
