Fantastic news, a great role. Congratulations fella! Hammers
A fantastic, World beating creative that deserves all that is coming to him. Well done Mark.
Bloody good on ya mate!Well deserved, and proof that nice guys can win! Lee @ TCN
Harricks tells some of the funniest stories out there. If you ever find yourself in his company you must get him to tell you the one about the dude who shat himself and threw his jeans out the train window, or the one about his mate the interstate sleep-wanker, or the time he ate the spacebar…Without a doubt some of the funniest shit you’ll ever listen to.Best of luck bro. Come back soon. J
Congratulations Mark. Matt Eastwood is a sterling ECD and DDB Sydney is an exciting destination. Hope I can hear some of your stories before you go though. Lets have that drink you always threatened…Tim H.
DDB Sydney is an exciting destination. Is it? Watch your back mate.
Fair few creatives have gone ‘missing’ on a stint at DDB. Bad day with the numbers or they change their mind like they change their fu(king y-fronts.
