Southpaw pair join Whybin\TBWA\Tequila
Southpaw, which comprises creative team Peter Galmes and John Mckelvey – and which bills itself as a independent creative agency with a digital focus – has been lured to Whybin\TBWA\Tequila, Sydney on a full-time basis – along with Southpaw copywriter James Ross Edwards.
Galmes and Mckelvey have worked with Whybin\TBWA\Tequila joint ECD Dave Bowman at Saatchi’s Sydney, where they created the Tooheys New ‘The Beer Economy’ work, which won four Bronze Lion at Cannes last year. The pair also created the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive spot that was a Cannes finalist last year.
The pair are in effect rejoining their old agency – they worked at Whybin Lawrence TBWA, Sydney when both Bowman and joint ECD partner Matty Burton were a creative team there in the mid noughties.

Nice one fellas.
Galmes, you look like you’re busting for a piss.
Great guys!
What’s with the need a wee wee pose?
I’m sure John has the camera remote in his right hand.

look forward to working with you soon
megas
Nice one Coln Carpenter
Mate just go to the toilet! It’s hurting my bladder watching you trying to hold it in.
Pete get off the net.
Nice PR boys, but aren’t you basically just a creative team with a digitally led focus, or maybe a freelance team masquerading as an agency.
I mean, do you have your own clients independent of Whybin’s?
Is it now Whybin TBWA Tequila Southpaw?
It’s all a bit embarrassing really.
They’ll be the C.D’s there within 12 months.
Hhhhaaa hhhaaaa hhhaaaaaa what a cock
He looks smug on the right
whybins creative arsenal just got a whole lot bigger – look out!
Damn straight 9:08, that photo has really got me shakin in my boots.
Yeah, haters, you better look out. The big boys are in town and they’re gonna kick some creative ass.

You’re a cock. Jealousy is unbecoming.
Hmmm. A bit pretentious of a creative team giving themselves a name.
A southpaw is exposed to the right hook and right-handers can smack them all day.
Their liver is exposed too – a couple of pops there and their on the canvas.
Also, the majority of people in Adland are right-handers.
Funniest PR shot ever!
I particularly like the serious looks on their faces.
It’s even better than the guy with the beret giving a bird a couple of weeks ago (actually, that was more irritating than funny).
You can have the best creatives in the world at that place and it won’t make any difference. Planning there is a joke, as is their business management team.
Why has there been no mention of the creatives that Whybins has recently retrenched?
Roy Jones Jnr fought Southpaw in many a fight and was right handed go figure!
10.54, it’s 6.54 here.
Nice comeback. Yes, I might well be a cock, but I’m certainly not jealous.
Any creative team can give themselves a name and pretend to be an agency, but the vast majority don’t because, like I said earlier, it’s all a bit embarrassing to pretend to be something that you’re not.
ease up hornbag – you just wait until tomorrow
Can’t wait for the magic to happen.
Tick….Tock…..Tick…..Tock…….
Fuck, she’s a vicious cold world out there.
I’ve got my own agency within an agency too, it’s called Pizzaz!
Pizzaz! does mainly small space ads and the odd banner.
‘m in the corner next to the fire escape but I can move about if needed.
Why are people so unkind?
And why is there so much sadness and hunger in the world?
And why do i feel like pizza?
Manny Pacquiao is a southpaw. And no one would say shit about it.
Shot Pete and John.
Pete – finally broken away from the old white Ts?
Its a shame, the guy on the right has a pony tail that can’t be seen in this photo. But any way well done JM, you’re a legend.
Yeah, Johhny’s a top bloke.
Shame about the other one.
Shouldn’t every creative team have a corporate name? Think of the fun!
With Bowman, Burton and these boys back together if I were Mojo i’d be quietly shitting myself with that Lion Nathan account they can’t crack!
Yeaaaaahhh! 11.55am
Yeeeaaahhh!
You tell ’em how it gonna be from now on.
Bitches.
11:55am Did you quietly shit yourself when you realised you weren’t good enough to get a job at Mojo?
5.31 PM, you’re only fooling yourself with that statement!
