DDB Sydney hires James Sexton and Harry Towle as creative team + promotes Jen Speirs to CD role
CB Exclusive: DDB Sydney has today announced the promotion of Jen Speirs to creative director as well as the hire of James Sexton (right) and Harry Towle (left) as a creative team.
Speirs has been with DDB since 2009 delivering award-winning campaigns for a number of clients including Telstra, Arnotts and Tourism Australia.
Sexton and Towle have been appointed as junior copywriter and junior art director respectively after impressing executive creative director, Dylan Harrison, following their transition from DDB Sydney’s business management team to the Launchpad program a mere five weeks ago.
Says Harrison: “New interns try hard to impress the creative directors when they’re given the chance, in the hope of a job. Two suits who’ve turned their back on the security of a regular income to try their hand as creatives? That’s a different story. Not only do they have to prove suits can be creative to the department, they have to prove they made the right decision to the whole agency! Harry and James over delivered like men possessed. I had no choice to make, they’d earned their position as DDB creatives, three weeks before their internship was up.
“Jen has been a consistent performer in the DDB Sydney creative team since joining the business, delivering outstanding creative work every time. Her promotion is thoroughly deserved and I look forward to continuing to work with her closely.”
Speirs will primarily work across Arnott’s and Johnson & Johnson while Sexton and Towle will work on briefs for DDB clients such as McDonald’s, Telstra and Volkswagen.

Awesome work Jen. About time.
What’s happening at DDB? No offensive to the new guys, but 9 creatives leave in a month and the best they can do is turn suits into creatives?
Well done boys. Congrats Jen.
Do me proud!
I think I may have something to do with everyone leaving
most of the suits at DDB think they are creative’s and everyone in creative is trying to leave
And people in traffic think they are idols to be worshipped. The sick thing is, everyone plays along.
