He added: "Andrew [Hook] has continued to grow as a strong conceptualiser and respected creative leader, and has the ability and commitment to play a key role in Batey's future. Jury [Gregorio] has proven his skills as both a creator of outstanding work, and as a mature manager who can orchestrate the flow of creative work through the agency."
"Rob [Gaxiola] has been most impressed with both of these very talented people, and has recommended that they be given the responsibility and titles that reflect their real roles within the agency."
