NETWORK MOVES AT SAATCHI AUCKLAND, LONDON, NEW YORK
Saatchi NZ creative team Dave Govier and Levi Slavin (left), originally from Marketforce Perth, are transferring to the London office of Saatchi & Saatchi. Says Executive Creative Director Mike O'Sullivan: "The boys have earned their stripes and are heading to the big smoke. To date Levi and Dave have done great work on Sol, NZ Army, Corolla and TV ONE Brand to name but a few.
"Their passion for mobile and interactive have seen them move from a traditional team to all round hybrid creatives. Kate Stanners (ECD London) jumped at the chance to take on people at their level. They start at Saatchi & Saatchi London on 1 October."
Creative team Paul Coghlan (middle left) and Stephen de Wolf (below left)have been promoted to senior creatives. They've worked closely with Govier and Slavin since joining in February. Says O'Sullivan: "They have been the understudies for Dave and Levi and they are ready to take the next step in their careers. They've been a real find for us and I'm confident they will continue to excel in their new roles."
O'Sullivan says he expects to announce an additional team in the coming weeks.
Additionally, Helen Steemson and Matt Swinburne will be 'switching' to the New York office in mid September. SWITCH is a program that Saatchi & Saatchi runs worldwide, enabling high performing staff the opportunity to work in other Saatchi offices around the world. Mitchell Gage and Natalie Fevig will be joining the New Zealand office from Saatchi New York for the SWITCH period. The team have recently contributed to the NYC office being named Cannes and Clio Agency of the Year for 2007.

Go boys, I knew you had it in you. S&S London is a wonderful place, or certainly was when I was there in the 13th Century.
Same to you, Cog, well deserved. Go for it.

Go Hybrids!
Good on them. They're a killer team, hopefully they can do some good work for Saatchis London which has been a bit pants for the last few years.
Joining Saatchis as it joins with Fallon is a big move. Good on yer Cogs, too
Dont come home with fat heads like a few others I could mention.
You truly will be real advertising guru's if you can manage the ego.
go for it!
best of luck!
They're doing well. I'm keen to see if they keep doing clever one-offs or deliver a really big campaign idea. They're certainly heading to the market to do it.
Back slaps all round. Buy Gascoigne a beer from me.
That Paul guy does some good stuff. He came up with the VB Boony campaign.
