Andrawes & Allen to co-chair Youngbloods WA

Youngbloods WA have started the year off with new co-chairs, Longtail’s Chris Andrawes (far left) and The Brand Agency’s Ashley Allen (near left) replacing Southern Cross Austereo’s Jade Lloyd and Meerkats’ Lucy Stoelwinder.

2015 saw Youngbloods win Gruen’s The Pitch, host a revamped Battle of the Ad Bands and deliver their annual Blood, Sweat and Tears sports tournament. Youngbloods WA also delivered education initiatives ‘Cop A Feel’ and ‘Have A Beer With’ aimed at helping young people in the WA advertising industry.

“Jade and Lucy need to be congratulated on their success in leading Youngbloods over the past couple of years,” said Danielle Norrish, State Manager, The Communications Council. “Chris and Ashley now step up as co-chairs with a combined 4+ years’ experience on Youngbloods. They bring great enthusiasm in their leadership.”

Youngbloods is powered by The Communications Council and committee members represent corporate member agencies, Longtail, The Brand Agency, Gatecrasher, Meerkats, J Walter Thompson – plus media organisations Initiative and Southern Cross Austereo.

Co-Chairs: Chris Andrawes (Longtail) & Ashley Allen (The Brand Agency)
