JWT promotes Nichol to client service director

JWT Sydney has promoted Rob Nichol (far left) to the role of head of client services after less than a year at the agency. Nichol joined JWT in May last year as group business director from Clemenger BBDO, Sydney.

Says JWT ANZ CEO and JWT Sydney MD, John Gutteridge (near left): “Rob has quickly established an incredible rapport with his clients and colleagues alike. He’s instinctive when it comes to connecting great ideas with business results. He’s also added enormous value by helping succeed in several new business assignments for the agency,” says Gutteridge.

Gutteridge also announced today that Penny Sarfati (left) has resigned from her GM position at JWT to join M&C Saatchi, Sydney as managing partner: “Penny has made a really valuable contribution to the growth and success of JWT Sydney over the past three years. I personally thank her and wish her all the success in her new role.” continued Gutteridge.

Sarfati joined JWT mid 2008 as client services director and was appointed GM in May 2009. She will depart JWT mid February.
