After 27 years at “George Patts”, “Y&R” and “Patts Y&R”, creative group head Tim Arrowsmith has resigned to take up the creative director position at Pulse Marketing, Sydney.
In his career, Arrowsmith has written thousands of ads for just about every Patts Sydney client including Arnott’s, Australian Rugby Union, V8 Supercars, Telstra, AAMI, NSW Tourism and Generation One.
George Patterson Y&R CEO Russel Howcroft describes him as “…a great craftsman in the art of advertising, a solver of puzzles, a persuader, a quiet ad genius.”

Well, let’s hope this ‘quiet ad genius’ can breathe some life into Keddys Lawyers and Willoughby City Council, which seem to be the ads they’re most proud of.
Even though you’re not a Victorian, you’re aaaallllright…
Good luck!
Classy and talented guy, I wish him the very best. Agency insider @12.09, whats your f@cking story?… What an a$shole!
Just for laughs, Patts should buy Pulse so that Tim ends up back there yet again!
Haven’t worked with Tim in years…. always a gentleman. Wouldn’t be too many bad words said about him…. Good luck mate!
the concept that is rarely cracked in advertising is ‘ how to keep my career going past 40 ”, obviously Tim has also solved that one as well . And Tim, make sure you keep sometime for Northbridge FC!
Sure Tim is a lovely guy, op bloke by all accounts, but who the hell are PULSE marketing ?
Oh I see. Just looked at the website. Oh dear.
Top bloke.
Good luck.
onya tim,

Good luck Arrow.

I reckon we should head back to NZ with Sutho! What do you reckon Tim? Beats Willoughby anyday. Never quite got Milford Sound happening but I reckon Sutho’s got a plan!
Congrats on the move Tim, onwards and upwards.
We can still wave from across the bridge.
3:12pm Tim’s a top bloke, one of the best creatives I’ve worked with. For him to jump from the GPY&R ship to PULSE, there must be something pretty interesting going on over there. Best of luck mate!
