Sputnik’s Eaon Pritchard takes the agency’s Brand Innovation tour to Launceston and Hobart, Tasmania and Melbourne during June.

On 28th June in Melbourne Eaon will be speaking for AIMIA at KPMG on what the near future holds for digital agencies, as their influence and responsibility within client organisations expands outside of purely digital marketing and affords opportunities to become more fully integrated partners.

Also on 28th June Eaon will be back in Tasmania, this time at The Long Gallery in Hobart discussing brand innovation and emerging cultural and technology trends at ‘What comes next?’ alongside leading market researchers Megan Ferguson, Leanne Carland and Peter Kenny, from Colmar Brunton. Read More

Sputnik Agency has hired former Zuni and Bullseye creative Kevin Ferry as the Creative Director of its Sydney office.

Ferry, who joined Zuni from Bullseye in September 2010, is known for his work for Blackmores. At Sputnik he will work on brands including Google, Schweppes, Sanitarium and GE.

Dan Robathan, GM of Sputnik Sydney said: “We have made a concerted effort to find the best talent in Australia, talent that aligns with our vision for how an agency built around insights should be structured. Though well known in Melbourne, we are still relatively new in the Sydney market and the recent growth of our Sydney office has allowed us to further expand our team here. We couldn’t be happier to have Kevin join the team.”

Ferry’s career to date has also included stints at Grey in London, where he was Creative Director, and Head of Digital Advertising for Ai London.

Ferry commented: “I knew Sputnik Agency by reputation, and I was attracted to the way they approach building campaigns across various channels. Also seeing Sputnik’s client list, the people they have on board and their plans for the future, I couldn’t say no. In reality, it was a very easy decision.”
