ASIA-PACIFIC – SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, MAY 25, 2012: After a one and a half year stint at Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, Vince Lagana has returned to Sydney and joined Leo Burnett as a creative director.
“It gives me great pleasure to add Vince to the ranks,” said Leo Burnett Sydney’s chief creative officer, Andy DiLallo. “He is unquestionably one of the best talents in the industry today.”
During his stint at Goodby, Lagana worked as an associate creative director on some of the agency’s biggest accounts, including Nintendo, Chevrolet, Adobe, Google Plus and Hewlett Packard.
Prior to this he spent many years at Saatchi and Saatchi Sydney, becoming one of its most awarded creatives. In 2010 and 20111, he won five gold lions at Cannes, three gold at the Spikes and a D&AD pencil for his Toyota Border Security campaign, Saatchi Sydney’s most awarded campaign ever.
"Vince is joining at an exciting time. This year Sydney catapulted into the Top 10 Creative Agencies in the World, ranking 7th, and is primed for monumental success in the future," Mark Tutssel, chief creative officer of Leo Burnett Worldwide.
DiLallo went on to add: “I look forward to seeing what surprises he and his new partner, Grant McAloon, will have in store for us. It isn’t often you get to pair such outstanding talents together. As a matter of fact, I think I’m going to start calling them the Avengers. It truly is a great day for Leo’s.”
