JWT poaches new creative director

The move re-unites Bertish with Craig Davis, JWT's Chief Creative Officer Worldwide, who was formerly a regional creative director for Saatchis.

Kieser says: "Conn understands the unique challenges of working in the Cape and he will be a great partner for me. His creative track record speaks for itself."

Bertish has scooped awards at D&AD, Cannes, One Show, the Clios and the local Loeries most notably for his work on Osram light bulbs, Guinness, Metropolitan Life, Musica and Amnesty International.

Bertish says: "JWT's recent repositioning has signalled a new momentum at the agency and I want to be part of it. I am definitely up for a new challenge. That's what gets me up in the morning."
