Independent creative agency Apparent has appointed David Jackson executive creative director.
Jackson will partner with chief creative and experience officer Hamish Stewart to oversee the agency’s creative department.
“The most effective ideas today are born where brand, experience, and comms collide. David brings the kind of creative leadership that thrives where each collides," said Stewart.
"He’ll help us push our thinking and deliver work that not only captures attention, but drives real, measurable outcomes for our clients.
"With recent key appointments across visual design, experience design, and creative, I’m inspired by the creative leadership we have in place.”
Jackson has held senior creative leadership roles at M&C Saatchi, DDB, and most recently served as national executive creative director at Tribal Worldwide, leading work for global and local brands including Volkswagen, Quiksilver, Westpac, Foxtel, Virgin, and McDonald's.
"I'm thrilled to be joining Apparent at such an exciting moment in the agency's growth. What drew me to Apparent is their restless ambition to build on an already successful foundation," Jackson said.
"There's something compelling in the understated confidence this independent agency embodies. They walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
"It's awesome to be working with Hamish again, too - one of the nicest blokes in the industry. We're both driven to redefine how brands connect with people by weaving together experience, stories, and culture.
"I can't wait to work alongside him and the hugely talented team to do that for our current and future clients. Game on."
