MADC President - Christy Peacock.jpgEXCLUSIVE – Publicis Mojo Melbourne art director Christy Peacock will be following Darren Spiller to Fallon in Minneapolis as head of art for North America.

Spiller told Campaign Brief: “As chief creative officer of Fallon North America one of my first tasks was to ensure that the execution of our work would be of the highest standard. It was apparent to me that we would need a world class head of art. Christy has a great eye for detail and a wonderful nose for sniffing out the latest and greatest. His past work and reputation in this market speaks for itself. He will be a fantastic asset to the team and will join Fallon North America in early August.”

Peacock told CB: “Darren and I have worked together for many years now and have forged a terrific bond, the chance to continue that relationship overseas in the US with a brand that we respect as much as Fallon was just too much to resist. Leaving the Melbourne industry is not a decision I make lightly. The work we produce here is truly world class. As well as this I am also currently the president of Melbourne’s Advertising and Design Club, it’s a position I hold close to my heart. And I feel that this year, together with the committee, we’ve really made some progressive decisions that will firmly cement the club’s future. I’ve made the decision to stay on as president until after our Award show which is on August 28th when the committee will then re-elect a new leader.”
