Creative agency Born has taken over Special Group's old Surry Hills warehouse and opened its first permanent Adelaide office following a year that tripled its revenue and grew its team to more than 15.
The Sydney move supports a client roster that now includes Dymocks, Unity Bank, Discovery Parks, University of Canberra and Glenvill Homes.
In Adelaide, Born had been operating from a serviced space on Leigh Street before securing its own premises.
"Moving into the old Special Group office in Sydney feels like a symbolic nod to the path we're on. We loved our time at Born House, but Born Warehouse is the step up we needed in so many ways," co-founder and strategy director David Coupland said.
Three senior hires bolster the Adelaide team with Jordaine Chattaway joining as strategy director from Fuller, bringing more than 15 years of experience including time at M&C Saatchi. Sam Brown and Jacob Brook arrive from Simple as designer and senior account manager respectively.
"Born has reimagined the creative agency model, combining ambitious thinking, exceptional work, and a genuine commitment to work–life balance," Chattaway said.
"I'm incredibly excited to be part of the journey as we expand our footprint across Sydney, Adelaide and beyond."
Co-founder and creative director Jenny Lennon said the Adelaide office marked a milestone for the agency.
"Adelaide has been incredible to us and having our own front door there is a really proud moment," she said.
