Caroline Gilroy has been appointed head of design at DDB Group Sydney.
Gilroy brings more than 20 years of brand and advertising design experience to DDB Sydney.
She has worked in senior design roles in agencies across Sydney, London, New York and Melbourne.
“DDB is such a powerhouse in the industry, and I’m so excited to be part of an organisation that truly values craft,” Gilroy said.
“Working alongside such a talented group of strategic and creative thinkers is both a dream role and an absolute privilege.”
A graduate of both Swinburne University of Technology and the Billy Blue College of Graphic Arts, Gilroy has led art direction and design for CommBank's refreshed diamond logo, and the brand identity for national food rescue charity, OzHarvest.
Gilroy comes to DDB Sydney from Howatson+Company, where she was head of design, responsible for building the design team from the agency's infancy.
She was the design director at Re, following graphic designer positions at several Melbourne agencies, including M&C Saatchi, Studio Round, and SouthSouthWest.
DDB Group Sydney chief creative officer Matt Chandler said that Gilroy’s appointment is a key addition to their creative leadership team.
“Building a strong culture of design, and a deeper commitment to craft, will lift everything we do across the group,” Chandler said.
“We're very fortunate to have Caroline join us in this role - we're excited to have her talents as part of the DDB Sydney journey ahead."
