Says Fedyszyn: “It’s fantastic to be working in such an amazing agency, surrounded by so many talented people. They’re growing every day and to be a part of it is extremely exciting.”

Says Ted Royer, CCO, Droga5 New York: “Lisa and Jono could have gone anywhere; we are excited and honored to have them join Droga5 New York. And with so much to do at the agency, we’ll definitely keep them busy.”

In February 2013 then Whybin\TBWA Auckland’s chief creative officer Toby Talbot snared the pair out of his former agency DDB New Zealand, offering them joint CD roles.

In April 2010,Talbot, then ECD at DDB, hired the pair from Colenso BBDO, Auckland, where that had been a star team for three and a half years. The team, ranked #1 in the world on Bestads over the last decade, has been recognised extensively in NewZealand and overseas at D&AD, Cannes, Clio, LondonInternational Awards, The One Show and Young Guns.
