Wunderman Melbourne gets Horne for CD role

Wunderman Australia has appointed Adam Horne as creative director of its Melbourne office. He joins the agency from a senior creative role at CHE Melbourne and has done previous stints at Leo Burnett and The Furnace.

Horne will partner with general manager Meena-Ganeson Kumar to drive the agency’s creative product on existing clients like Ford, Treasury Wine Estates,  Colonial First State Global Asset Management as well as the recent acquisition of Weatherbeeta and two undisclosed global clients.

“This is a very exciting time for our business,” says Ganeson-Kumar. “Adam brings superior creative insight to our existing clients and his appointment will help realize our aim of sustained growth and building our creative and digital capabilities”.

Horne will also work closely with Matt Batten, national executive creative director, to help deliver Wunderman Australia’s creative offering following the agency’s recent move to a more holistic national model.

“Adam has proven creative expertise in digital and social channels. Given the monumental shift in our clients’ work into more technology-driven ideas and digital engagement, Adam will keep us moving forward,” said Batten. “I expect big things out of him.”

Horne studied multimedia technology at Swinburne University before switching into visual comms at Monash University, graduating with a Bachelor of Design.
