Noah Regan departs CD gig at The Monkeys for CD role at multi-national agency in Singapore
CB Asia Exclusive – Noah Regan, who has been creative director and partner of The Monkeys, Sydney since October 2008, has departed the agency and will next week be heading for a CD role in the Singapore office of a major network.
When contacted this morning by CB, Regan could not reveal the agency yet but assured us it would be very soon.
Regan’s most notable work over the last four years include the Sydney Opera House ‘The Ship Song Project’ , the BBC Knowledge ‘Honk if you’re human’ campaign and ‘Saving is the new spending’ for UBank, which have been widely recognised at award shows both here and internationally.
Says Regan: “I joined The Monkeys four years ago because it was the biggest, most interesting challenge I
could think of. It’s been a wild ride and one I have no regrets taking. I’m proud of what I’ve helped the agency achieve and confident
that its success will continue.”
Says co-founder and ECD of the Monkeys, Justin Drape: “There were 15 people in the agency when Noah joined and today we have 105
so clearly he’s made an invaluable contribution with his creativity and relentless passion for the work. We wish him all the best with the next chapter of his life and look forward to crashing on his lounge next time we’re in Singapore.”
Before The Monkeys Regan worked at DDB in London under one of the world’s great creative directors, Jeremy Craigen. While there he created several award winning campaigns for Volkswagen, Harvey Nichols and Marmite, helping DDB London rank 3rd at the 2008 Cannes International Advertising Festival.
Before DDB London Regan worked at Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney for eight years where he won numerous international awards including Cannes, One Show, Clio and featured regularly in local award shows AWARD, The Work and Caxtons. His work for Toyota, Lexus, Emirates, Lion Nathan and the United Nations was an integral part of the agency’s three consecutive Campaign Brief Agency of the Year wins.

’bout fucking time someone talented made a decision to come to Singapore. The smart ones who who are in the legitimate business of real and super creative advertising avoid it like the plague.
Rightfully he should be going to JWT or M&C Saatchi as they both could use a REAL ECD….but…. it could end up being something yawn-worthy like Saatchi or Ogilvy.
Sounds like a top fellow. I do hope he is not another victim for Ogilvy Singapore.though.
Probably Ogilvy…the proctologist did leave a rather gaping hole that needs filling.
Whats wrong with Ogilvy Singapore?
Cos Ogilvy Singapore only hire bunch of Aussie for high levels ???
It’s BBH. Congrats to both.
