DROGA5 HIRES STRATEGIC PLANNING STAR FABIO BURESTI FROM BMF
Starting on March 1st, Fabio Buresti joins Droga5 as a Senior Planner on the agency’s recently won VB business.
Buresti has been at BMF for the last two years working on Lion Nathan brands including; Tooheys Extra Dry, XXXX and Hahn Super Dry. Prior to his time at BMF, he spent four years at Saatchi & Saatchi plying his trade to Toyota and Lion Nathan.
During his time at BMF, Buresti has helped to create the HarvesTED campaign, the highly awarded Human Testing work and was integral in developing the XXXX Gold Beach cricket initiative.
Buresti’s work on XXXX bagged him a number of AFA Effectiveness Awards for his efforts on XXXX Gold – including the Long Term Award and the Gold Pinnacle.
“For me the opportunity to be a founding member of the Droga5 planning department in Sydney was simply too good to pass up. I loved my time at BMF and did some of the best work of my career, but the possibilities at Droga5 are simply too exciting,” says Buresti.
Before joining the world of advertising Buresti had created his own motocross street wear label – selling gear in both the USA and Australia. In addition to advertising Buresti is also passionate about his 1970 Corvette Stingray, his Triumph Bonneville and his three Bengal cats amongst other things.
“Fabio’s casting as our first strategic hire couldn’t be more perfect. His entrepreneurial spirit, passion for genuinely innovative work and wealth of experience is second to none,” says Sudeep Gohil, Droga5 Planning Director and Partner. “From a strategic perspective we want to have the most interesting and creative planners in the world at Droga5. To say that our internal and external expectations are high is an understatement.”

Nice to see Droga5 is just pinching people from other companies.
Is that that corey bloke without his yellow glasses?
Well done Fabs!
Yes, pinching people from other companies rather than the dole office.
I mean, there are a lot of out-of-work-talented people around.
Shame on them.
“Strategic planning star”?
Is there really such a thing?
Couldn’t have happened to a more lovely guy. Well done, fabs! YOU ROCK!!
Well, regardless of where they are getting their people from, it seems like they are going to have quite the crew very soon.
Nice one boys!
Now let’s see some bloody work!!!
I reckon Deutschy will be next.
i wonder if the guys at droga5 have any idea how lucky they are to have fabio on their team. He’s not only one of the smartest cookies around, he’s also a genuinely nice guy. BMF loved him. I reckon they would have done anything to keep him. well done, mate!
Hooray!
Well done Corvette and Bonneville – couldn’t have happened to better machines. Now they’ll get the hot-wax lovin’ they deserve…
And good for you too Fabs 😉
to 8.27 – you are a goose. What are you a ‘copywriting star’ or an ‘art directing star’? That is, what are you really good at writing or drawing?
Nice hiring guys…Congrats Fab, you will kill it!
A man that likes cats. No thanks.
Fabs I’m very happy for you and for Droga5.
This pic is the happiest I’ve seen you.
Hello Sapon,
Your a legend. Well done matey, the XXXX Gold stuff you did was great. Can’t wait to catchup at the lucky and drink that shit!!!!!!
Only fags drink at the lucky country !!!!! Even worse, fags from NEWCASTLE…
XXXX Gold ? Is that beer still in production ? I thought it went out with KB ! Clearly Buresti did some great work there….
**note, go out and buy VB in bulk and stock-pile it, in 5 years you won’t be able to get a tin anywhere! High prices on e-bay expected, think “Duff”
To quote Bill Hicks: “By the way, if anyone here is in marketing or advertising…kill yourself. Thank you. Just planting seeds, planting seeds is all I’m doing. No joke here, really. Seriously, kill yourself, you have no rationalisation for what you do, you are Satan’s little helpers. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now.”
Only cross dressers drink at the lucky country !!!!! Even worse, cross dressers from NEWCASTLE…
