72andSunny Sydney appoints Whitney Hawthorn to the role of head of delivery
72andSunny Sydney has promoted Whitney Hawthorn to head of delivery.
Whitney was one of 72andSunny’s first team members when it opened its doors in May 2017 and has led delivery for the company’s client partners in the last 3 years, including Google, eBay, Paspaley, Uber, AFTRS, Mona, Lion and Chubb.
Her 30-year-career includes senior positions with some of the best-regarded creative agencies and production houses in Australia, across an A-Z list of clients spanning a wide range of categories. She has worked at Leo Burnett, JWT, Flying Fish, The Monkeys, R/GA and BMF, as head of content and broadcast production.
Says Chris Kay, CEO, 72andSunny APAC: “Whitney is a hyper-modern maker and great human in equal measure. She has a fluidity to how she creatively problem solves, and as our breadth of output grows, she is the ideal person to lead drive our collaborative approach to creating. We are glad she is part of our gang.”
Says Hawthorn: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with some wonderful people at 72andSunny as well as with fantastic client partners over these past few years. It’s exciting working with an agency model that allows for a unique and forward thinking approach to production across any form of deliverable.”
The appointment follows a strong start to 2020, with the news of Luke Martin joining as Head of Product, new client partnerships for 72andSunny Sydney with Chubb, Lion’s Toohey’s Extra Dry and Little Creatures, Infigen and recent work for Google, Uber and Byron Bay Brewery.

I’m pretty sure 72 make these titles up in order to shoehorn in some new biz/look we’re not dead yet, news at the end.
What’s a hyper-modern maker?
We all thought it and you wrote it
Hurrah Whitney! One of the nicest people in the business.
Great hire guys. Whitney’s a multi-skilled fire cracker! Love her.
Top move, Congrats Whitney and 72!
This negative backstabbing in the industry is getting really tiresome. Shame on the industry socials for allowing it. Same old boring ass comments from boring ass advertising individuals. If you’re that much more amazing and know best then go get a proper advertising job overseas. I bet you’ve also had time to shout about yourself on LinkedIn about being a judge in some crappy awards that don’t really mean much anymore. How about putting that time into doing something more positive for the world instead.
Well done Whitney. Well done 72S. Two of the absolute best.
Still making things happen with style and grace. Well done Whitney and 72.
Whitney is one of the best. Congrats to all.
