Creative agency We Are Social has appointed Ben Clare executive creative director.
Clare joins We Are Social after most recently holding the role of group creative director at Emotive. Previously, he was creative director at TBWA Sydney, Clemenger BBDO Sydney and Johannes Leonardo in New York.
Joining the 60-member Australian team to work alongside We Are Social’s CEO, Suzie Shaw, Clare will be leading the development of We Are Social’s creative vision.
“The opportunity to join We Are Social and help define its next chapter proved impossible to pass up,” said Clare.
“I think nowadays, the best advertising doesn’t always look like advertising. And when you have an agency that genuinely sits at the intersection of culture and commerce, the opportunities to create work that breaks through the clutter are endless
“More importantly, We Are Social is filled with lovely and talented people eager to take risks. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Suzie Shaw: ”I love Ben’s work, and I love his energy. Having him join the business at a time when we’ve got so many great clients all looking for interesting ideas, I’m seriously excited about the next creative chapter for We Are Social”.
