TRANS TASMAN SHAKEUP: MADDOCKS SET FOR CLEMS SYDNEY, WORTHINGTON FOR COLENSO AUCKLAND

CB hears a major trans Tasman creative shakeup is about to be announced, with Colenso BBDO Auckland's highly awarded ECD, Aussie expat Richard Maddocks (top left), set to transfer to Clemenger BBDO Sydney to take the vacant ECD position, while Maddocks' role will be taken by the even more awarded Nick Worthington (below left), currently regional ECD at Publicis Mojo, who is based in Auckland. For Worthington it will be a return to the BBDO fold, having been lured to Auckland from AMV/BBDO London nearly fours years ago by then Publicis worldwide CD, David Droga.
For other networks, the combination of Maddocks in Sydney, Worthington in Auckland and James McGrath in Melbourne will be creatively hard to beat.
