STEPHEN-COLL.jpgSteve Coll, writer and creative group head at Leo Burnett, Sydney, is leaving the agency and moving to AMV BBDO, London.

Coll told CB: “Leo’s is an agency with a unique ethos and atmosphere, and I’m sad to be leaving. It’s been a good, enjoyable few years at Burnett’s, writing stuff like the Inner Child for Maccas and Bundy ‘Only in Australia’ for the lads at Diageo. I’ve especially enjoyed working with Andy and Jay over the last few months. Those two guys have brought an immense amount of new talent and passion into the department, so I wish them, and everyone else, the very best of luck for the future.”

During his three years at Burnett’s, Coll has been awarded at Cannes, The One Show, Clio and AWARD.

Says Leo Burnett joint ECD’s, Andy DiLallo and Jay Benjamin: “We’re bummed to see someone of Steve’s calibre go but equally pleased to see him get the chance to chase something he has been after for a long time. We wish him the best and hope one day he decides to come back to Australia.”
