Following the recent announcement of Fleur Marks as its MD, Lavender New Zealand has appointed former Ogilvy CD, Drew Ayers as Creative Director.
Says Fleur: ”Drew is a rare breed of creative – hugely talented and a real
team player. His fit with our team is perfect and I know he will take our
creative to the next level. Already he’s delighting our clients with his fresh
thinking and ideas.”

His work for clients as diverse as American Express, Mercedes-Benz, Nestlé, Farmers, BP, Sanitarium, Hyundai, Foodtown/Woolworths, AMP, The Laminex Group, KFC, Pizza Hut and Telecom has seen him win numerous creative and effectiveness awards both nationally and internationally – including a Lion at Cannes this year.
