MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE





JWT NZ APPOINTS NEW CREATIVE DIRECTOR



Auckland, 5 April 2006 – JWT NZ announced today that it has signed Angus Hennah as the agency’s new Creative Director.



Angus Hennah from Clemenger BBDO in Wellington was profiled in 2005 as one of New Zealand’s brightest creative minds within the advertising industry.



John Gutteridge, General Manager, JWT NZ says that the agency is thrilled that Angus Hennah will be joining the Auckland-based team in a few weeks.



“I am delighted that Angus will be part of the team as the new Creative Director of JWT NZ. We are incredibly excited to have Angus on board. He epitomizes everything the new JWT stands for, especially in the high calibre of his work, his reputation and his attitude towards the business,” says Gutteridge.



Gutteridge also says that the search for the best Creative Director was well worth the wait.



“I strongly believe that JWT NZ is starting to achieve great things, and fundamental to this is having a solid partnership of vision and direction at the top. In Angus I very much know that I have found this partner. He has many excellent attributes but his ambition to succeed and his quest to settle for nothing short of exceptional has impressed me enormously.”



“JWT has fundamentally shifted in terms of its culture and outlook around the world none more so than in New Zealand. The emphasis on delivering a world-class creative product for our clients is now greater than ever. Undoubtedly Angus will play an integral part in delivering this as well as helping JWT realize its business growth.”



Angus will commence as Creative Director with JWT in early May.
