Simon Langley (left) has resigned as 303Lowe Sydney’s executive creative director. The agency has enjoyed a number of outstanding creative successes in the time Langley has overseen the creative output of the agency including this year winning a D&AD yellow pencil for the IKEA ‘Rent’ campaign, Grand Prix at Spikes Asia and numerous Effie awards.

Says Langley: “I have had a successful couple of years at 303Lowe helping achieve growth for the business and attracting fantastic talent. I’m proud of the work we have done at the agency and believe we have built a strong creative reputation based upon work that not only wins awards, but delivers results. I am particularly proud of our Effie success this year where we picked up six awards for three clients.”

The highly respected Langley joined the agency in 2010 from the CD role at BMF, where he’d been for over 6 years.

Says Nick Cleaver, CEO: “We are sad to see Simon depart 303Lowe and really appreciate the great contribution he has made to the agency. He has built a strong creative department and got some great campaigns out in his time with us.”

Says Langley: “I’m looking forward to taking some time off over Xmas with the family before moving on to a new challenge.”

Langley will be replaced by national creative director Lindsay Medalia, the founding creative partner of the agency, while the agency conducts a search for a replacement for Langley.

Says Cleaver: “Lindsay is a brilliant creative leader and is the heart and soul of our brand, we are delighted to have him lead the Sydney creative team.”
