O&M Advertising has hired Mike Donaghey and Chris Joakim from BBDO Canada.
In their roles as associate creative directors, Donaghey and Joakim will be primarily focused on the agency’s recent account gain – Philips.
The pair have won many awards, most notably multiple Lion wins for their work on Skittles ‘Touch the Rainbow’ and FedEx, which include two Gold Lions and a Bronze in 2011 and, most recently, another Bronze win for their Skittles ‘Touch the Untouchable’ campaign in 2012.
Gerry Human, Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy & Mather Advertising said of the new hires, ‘Mike and Chris are an energetic and hungry team who have proven they can produce world-class ideas, so I have no doubt they will make a great contribution to our team here in London.’
Adds Donaghey/Joakim, ‘We’re really excited to be joining Gerry’s team here in London. We’ve built our careers on producing effective, award-winning work for our clients and the chance to continue doing that in the greatest city in the world is an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.’
