Jarvis OMD has appointed former general manager of Paramount in South Australia, Cameron Mudge, as business director, a newly created role spanning both the agency's media and creative teams.
Mudge brings more than 16 years of network-side experience, most recently at Network 10 and Paramount.
He joins the management team alongside Mark Elsdon, Mel Elsdon Ware and Kristy Admiraal, starting May 4.
Mark Elsdon, managing director of Jarvis OMD, said the hire was an opportunity the agency could not pass up.
"We're excited to welcome Cameron as a partner of the agency. He brings a wealth of experience as a leading advertising professional,” Elsdon said.
“I've known Cameron for all his media career and always respected him for his professionalism and knowledge.
“The opportunity for him to join our team and extend our capabilities was just too good to pass up."
Mudge said the move to agency side was a deliberate one.
"After more than 16 years within the network environment, I'm thrilled to be joining Jarvis Marketing and OMD Adelaide,” he said.
“I've always admired the agility and client-first mindset of the team and this transition into agency allows me to take the deep insights I've gained at Network 10 and Paramount and apply them across a broader landscape."
Elsdon Ware and Admiraal said Mudge's track record made him a natural fit.
"We have both worked with Cameron for many years during his tenure at Ten/Paramount and have always respected his work ethic and ways he and his extended team responded to our clients' needs,” Elsdon Ware said.
