Youngbloods NSW has appointed M+C Saatchi art director Jake Rowland and Dentsu Creative senior account manager Ruby Tonkin co-chairs.
The duo has worked under the guidance of outgoing co-chairs Charlotte Berry and Caitie Hall.
“After three years of co-chairing Youngbloods, we couldnʼt think of better leaders to hand over the reigns to than Ruby and Jake - without whom the So You Think You Can DJ events, the Gruen Pitch, climate change and equality initiatives, discipline panels and, of course, the EOY Boat Parties could never have happened,” said Berry and Hall.
“Having worked with these two excellent operators for so many years, we canʼt wait to see what this new partnership brings to Youngbloods - the stealth of a suit and the gun powder of a creative.”
Rowland and Tonkin will focus on continuing to grow the presence of Youngbloods NSW through events, industry partnerships and national cohesion.
“Weʼve been thrown straight into the deep end with the brief for this yearʼs Gruen Pitch, so itʼs been a busy start,” said incoming co-chairs Jake Rowland and Ruby Tonkin.
“But weʼre excited to soon shift gears and start shaping a long-term vision for Youngbloods NSW.
“Weʼve got big shoes to fill and weʼre stepping in at a crucial moment for the industry.
“Thereʼs never been a more important time to back young talent and help them navigate the challenges ahead with us firmly in their corner.”
