The pair have spent the past three and a halfyears producing award-winning work for clients such as Clarks, VirginBlue, Virgin Atlantic and the Australian Multiple Sclerosis charity.
Theirwork on Multiple Sclerosis included a ‘Coin Operated Scientist’ ambientpiece and a thought-provoking ‘Saboteur’ TV spot showing a house andeveryday household items being sneakily sabotaged – from oil on thekitchen floor through to hot and cold taps being swapped, string acrossthe top of stairs and Vaseline smeared on reading glasses – torepresent some of the issues of living with multiple sclerosis.

Lucky bastards!
Them and the NZ industry.
This is the second Cummins team pinched for NZ…. Art Director Lisa Fedyszyn and copywriter Jonathan McMahon moved to Colenso BBDO Auckland in 2006 and have done really well since.

How scary!
You posted exactly the same comment on the OZ blog.
You may be better served handing your trumpet to someone else to blow.

How Scary!
You take the time to read the same posting on both sites.
Do you not have any work to do?
If Lisa came from the same place as this chick, I really need to get my CV over there…
Does that mean a team has returned to Oz after being less than succeS&Sful?

I’m always sniffing around trying to catch people out.
I can’t help it. I enjoy it and am quite good at it.
