303 has hired young team Ben Gartland and Matt Mortimer from Adpartners to build up the creative department under the leadership of new ECD Simon Langley. The team met at AWARD School where they both finished in the Top 10 and have produced campaigns for clients including The Salvation Army, Safcol and Pilot Pens.

Langley said: “These boys have a very bright future. They’re talented, enthusiastic and they get where the industry is going. They’ve already had a big impact on our culture in only a few days and I look forward to them doing the same with our work.”

Prior to becoming creatives, Gartland worked as a web developer and Mortimer started as a media planner/buyer before becoming a suit at The Campaign Palace. They said: “We’re very excited about joining 303. There’s a really good vibe here and we’re looking forward to doing great work on clients both here in Sydney and in Perth.”
