Saatchis Sydney poaches digital creative Ganann

Saatchi & Saatchi has appointed Sean Ganann to lead its digital offering. Ganann has been charged with strengthening the agency's digital capabilities.

Ganann, one of Australia's leading digital creative directors, has worked on award-winning campaigns for Virgin Money, Virgin Atlantic, 3 Mobile, IBM and Unilever. Formerly with NetX, he has received recognition at major award shows. Prior to moving to Syndey, he held senior creative positions at OgilvyInteractive, BBDO Interactive and Grey Interactive in Toronto. Armed with more than 10 years experience, he recently handled the Jason Donovan campaign for Virgin Mobile, which won two bronze prizes at the recent AWARD show. Ganann has judged at Cannes, The One Show, London International Advertising Awards and AWARD. David Nobay, executive creative director of Saatchis, said: "We've worked hard over the last few years to establish our creative credentials regionally and internally. Interactive is a vital part of the mix and I've been searching for a creative director for ages who can match and enhance our present creative reputation. Sean makes the wait more than worthwhile."
