The Australian ad industry will be saddened to hear of the passing of the renowned and much loved Susie Henry, who died yesterday after a long illness.
Joining Leo Burnett, Sydney (then known as Connaghan & May) in 1985 as the assistant to the CEO, Susie held the position for many years working for various leaders in advertising before moving to become the face of Leo’s at reception.
Leo Burnett has posted a statement on its LinkedIn page: “The Australian Advertising community lost an absolute legend yesterday. She wasn’t an award-winning creative or a CEO. She was the iconic receptionist at Leo Burnett for almost 40 years. She was a gift. They don’t make them like Susie Henry anymore. We’ll have a bucket of wine for you real soon special lady.”
