SAMI AND GINA HEAD TO JWT NEW YORK

Aussie expats Samira Ansari (Saatchi & Saatchi Paris) and Georgina Hofmann (Karmarama London) will team up to join JWT New York next month to work closely with sister expat, ECD Sarah Barclay. Barclay works on Johnson & Johnson, Cadbury’s Trident, Bubalicious and Halls, and is global ECD on Schick.

Ansari and Hofmann both started their careers at Cummins and Partners in Melbourne followed by a stint at Y&R. They departed four years ago for jobs in Paris and London.

Their combined experience includes work on the launch of Virgin Airlines in Australia, Cadbury Schweppes, GM Holden, Toyota, T-Mobile, Pipex, Nestle, Ariel Europe, Amnesty International, IFAW and MTV.

“We’ve been friends for such a long time and have always ended up at the same agencies. So, we figured it was about time we teamed up and made some noise. We’re pumped to do some great work by mixing things up a little and figured there was no better place to do it than in NY with Sarah.”
