Ogilvy Sydney appoints GM as Carr moves to JWT

Carr left Ogilvy to helm WPP/STW-sister agency JWT in the newly created role of general manager. 

“Richard has been with Ogilvy for more than 10 years and has made a significant contribution to our business and staff development," commented Ogilvy Australia's CEO, Andrew Baxter, who added that he was pleased Carr had chosen to stay within the "family". 

Quailey, who started with Ogilvy in 1997, rejoined the agency two years ago. He will continue to work on the agency's major client, Vodafone.

In his new role, Quailey will be supported by fellow Ogilvy-veteran Leigh Bignell, who has been promoted to the newly created role of executive business director from her previous post of business director. Bignell will work with Nathan on the agency’s overall performance, while continuing to work across Nestlé, NSW Government, and Purina.

Baxter said that both Quailey and Bignell have had long and successful careers at the agency, with “a proven ability to develop and deliver successful creative solutions for a broad range of clients”.
