BCM Sydney has appointed Geoff Reid creative director after holding a senior writer position at the agency since October last year.

His work has been recognised at D&AD, New York Festivals, Cannes, London International, One Show, Folio, AWARD, The Caxtons and MADC.
He brings a wealth of experience, having worked on many well known Australian and international brands including Kellogg’s, The Nine Network, Bolle, Coles Myer, Jeans West, Tetley, Target, Campbell’s, Foxtel, Fuji Xerox, Singapore Airlines, Telstra, UK TV, Subaru, Woolworths and Murdoch Magazines.
In addition to his new CD responsibilities, Reid will continue topartner with senior art director Tony Sutton, managing creativerequirements for the Radio Rentals, bigbrownbox.com.au, Surf LifeSaving Australia, New South Wales Rural Fire Service, Pelikan Artlineand Sunbeam Foods accounts handled by BCM Sydney.
Says BCM Partner Paul Cornwell: “Given the rapid growth of our Sydneyoffice over the past year, it makes sense for us to have a CD lookingafter the creative aspects of the Sydney accounts. Geoff has proven hisworth and, along with Tony Sutton, is responsible for some great workcoming out of the Sydney office. His extensive experience andprofessionalism makes him the perfect candidate for the CD job.”

Geoff Reid for Prime Minister!
A great example of someone who has had a long and successful career (with the inevitable ups and downs), given something back to the industry, avoided the crassness of transparent self-promoting and done so with a smile.
chk chk boom!
Go Geoff!
You deserve it.
Bec.
Well deserved. My fondest memories of working with him are when he would lie down in the middle of the road in the face of oncoming traffic at 3am. That kind of thing takes courage.
Love , passion, commitment.
Allways follow your dreams.
So happy for you
