CB hears that Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne senior creative Paul Reardon has taken an eight month military secondment, but will be back at the agency prior to Christmas, and will still represent Australia on the Cannes Radio Lions jury in June this year.
As a result, Reardon’s partner Gus Johnston has left the agency, and two craft guys, a designer and a high-end Mac operator have been employed.

Wow. Good on you for doing exactly what you want. I have a lot of respect for that.
i hear he’s gone for more like 2 years…
Almost a week late for April Fools.
Lock’n’load. God speed.
i could do that…but i don’t wanna.
I hope he finally got his Band of Brothers back. He’s going to need it.
Good luck! It’s great to see people do what they want to do, rather than what’s easy to do.
A few years in the army would sort out a few of your typical namby-pamby, latte sipping longhaired poofter creative types.

fuckin ‘sleeper’ in adland. I like it.

That’s a fuckin’ weird press release
Why?

“As a result … two craft guys, a designer and a high-end Mac operator have been employed.”
In the words of Ed Rooney. “Thank you Grace. I think you’re wrong.”
But don’t let facts get in the way of an otherwise awesome story.
who cares
short on stories lynchy??
Bullshit, 1.12. If you knew Paul, you’d know the truth. Fuckwit.
Funniest post of the year.
It only takes 6 months to train for ASIS.
Can’t be that.
Paul of course used to work with Jonas, who is a trained sniper. Quite a formidable team.
Sorry 1:57. I think you’ve got me confused with your Mum.
I do know Paul. Very well. But just so we’re all on the same page, and since you seem to know everything, can you please name the “two craft guys, a designer and a high-end Mac Operator” that have been hired since Paul left?
Join the Army get your head blown off.
Eh? What’s this got to do with Marketforce? I thought they were the CB slow-day default story? Hasn’t Tinning just changed his mortgage broker?
How cool. He’s like Elvis.
where did Gus go?
How cool – he’s like Elvis (that’s really funny).
Two craft guys, a designer and a high-end Mac operator walk into a bar.
Very strange press release. Who wrote it?
He’s hot. And nothing turns me on more than a man in uniform.
Last I heard Gus is trying his hand at Photography.
gus does photography?
pfft.
I’d join the army too if I had to work in that bitchy department.
7:01 – I’m a cleaner and have a cleaner’s uniform. I smell real good. Does that turn you on?
3:12pm I don’t think you’ll be able to rough me up in a cleaner’s uniform unless you plan on giving me a good polish.
he’ll turn up at ddb.
1:22 You obviously know jack. I work in that department and it’s one of the least bitchy creative departments you’re likely to find.
I know jack. He was a creative director at Campaign Palace in the 80’s
