Steve Back exits Ogilvy Australia’s CCO role

Ogilvy Australia’s Chief Creative Officer Steve Back is leaving the company after 18 months in the position. Back joined Ogilvy Australia in the newly-created national role in February 2013 from Ogilvy & Mather Singapore where he also held the position of Chief Creative Officer.

Ogilvy Australia’s CEO David Fox said Back had worked hard to strengthen the creative talent across the Ogilvy Australia group.

“Steve has helped to build creative capability across both offices leading to stronger creative collaboration between Sydney and Melbourne,” he explained.

“We have an incredible team of creatives both in Sydney and Melbourne who are now well-versed in taking an approach as one office where required.  We feel confident that they can continue to produce outstanding creative work that works both for local and national clients under the guidance of each city’s respective creative leadership.”
