The MADC, Australia’s oldest creative communications club, has been reinvigorated once more, with the announcement of new co-presidents Matt Lawson and Simon Thomas, a new MADC committee, and upcoming events organised to begin from mid-May.
Says co-president Matt Lawson, chief creative officer of Deloitte Digital: “The incredibly talented, and impossibly nice bunch of people that have agreed to join the MADC committee really is testament to the wonderful club that was rebuilt by outgoing president, Adrian Bosich, and the previous committee. They did such a great job of getting Melbourne together to inspire great work, while having some fun. And that’s a legacy we plan on continuing. Have the MADC be a place to inspire and conspire. Inspire great work through talks and showcases, and get people together to hatch plans to make more of it.”

Says Ant Keogh, CCO, The Monkeys Melbourne: “It’s a wonderful thing to be able to promote four talented and trusted creatives from within the building, people that have been with us pretty much since the inception of the Melbourne office, or in Hugh’s and Scott’s case, before that, in the Sydney office. These guys have always acted as leaders when it came to the work, so it’s nice, as the office grows, to set it in place officially.”
