DDB Sydney welcomes Cam Hoelter back to the agency as group creative partner.

Hoelter spent seven years in the DDB network between 2011 and 2018, first at DDB Sydney and then DDB New York.

He helped create campaigns such as McDonald’s becomes Macca’s, I see fries, mac it better, plus Volkswagen’s naked ute and golf - tough sell.

Hoelter has been recognised at major national and international award shows, judged major shows including Cannes Lions, and has helped Volkswagen and McDonald’s win 11 Cannes Lions including three gold.

Hoelter will once again work with McDonald’s, a client which celebrates its 51st year of partnership with DDB Australia this year.

After his first stint at DDB Sydney, Hoelter spent five years in New York at DDB New York and McCann New York, where he was part of the team behind Verizon’s first responders and team that wouldn’t be here Super Bowl campaigns. He returned to Australia in 2020 to become executive creative director at CHE Proximity, before taking a break from the industry.

DDB Sydney executive creative director Matt Chandler said: “I couldn’t be happier to have Cam back at the agency. He’s a brilliant creative leader and an all-round good guy.

"I loved working with him the first time and I reckon the second time will be even better.”

DDB Sydney creative director Cam Hoelter said: “I know from experience how great the people are at DDB, and just what a powerhouse brand McDonald’s is.

"So returning to work with them both was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever had to make."
