There must be better water over there for Earl Grey tea.

in the Australian advertising business, Whybin\TBWA announced today
that Philip O’Neill, currently General Manager of Whybin\TBWA New
Zealand, will assume the role of Managing Director, Whybin\TBWA
Melbourne.

“Philip is an outstanding advertising man, and in the short time he’s
been with the group he has demonstrated that he has what it takes to
lead our Melbourne office. Increasingly we are operating as one brand
across three offices reflecting the importance of Australasia to our
clients”, said David Walden, CEO Whybin\TBWA New Zealand.
