DDB has again infiltrated the creative ranks at Colenso, this time snatching three rising stars ...



Simone Louis joins as a copywriter, partnering Brett Colliver. She began her career at Colenso before doing a short stint at Mojo then moved to Three Drunk Monkeys Sydney, where she was creative partner to CD Noah Regan.



She’s worked with Frucor, Mini, Mercedes Benz, Lion Nathan, Foxtel and Telstra. Her award wins include a rare YoungGuns Black Bullet, plus gongs from Cannes, One Show, AWARD and Axis.



Also joining DDB from Colenso is young creative team Steve Hansen & Paul Kim (Emerging Talent Award winners at Axis 2010).



“I’ve had my eye on Simone since she wrote some great long-copy ads for Mercedes at Colenso,” says ECD Toby Talbot.



“Steve & Paul have the hunger to go far. The department has never been in better shape.”

DDB’s latest raid on Colenso comes just two months after the snatching of senior team Lisa Fedyszyn & Jonno McMahon.
