DDB has appointed a new group business director, Nikki McKelvie, to handle the Warehouse and Sky accounts.
Miss McKelvie came from Ogilvy where she spent about five years as group account director, business director and client service director.
She said she was very excited to be joining DDB and working with some of the best talent in the industry.
"I'm really proud of the achievements we made at Ogilvy during my five years but it was time to shake it up and DDB is an exciting opportunity working with great people and great clients."
She said there was a great team working on the accounts, and it was an opportunity for her to do something different.
"They're both fantastic clients doing great work so there're definitely opportunities there."
Miss McKelvie has also worked at Saatchi & Saatchi and M&C Saatchi with clients such as Coca-Cola, TVNZ, BP and Sanitarium.
Miss McKelvie was one of the few proper, mature and experience account leaders in the industry, said DDB managing director Justin Mowday. He said Miss McKelvie’s track record and awards spoke for themselves.
“She brings with her a wealth of both brand and retail experience, and has the right balance of bold smarts and pragmatism that we need to make our clients successful.”
These awards include gold awards at Axis and AWARD and Miss McKelvie was selected as the New Zealand representative at the Ogilvy Asia Pacific conference AdChamps in Sri Lanka in 2008, DDB said.
