MIKE FELIX TO SAATCHI’S
Saatchi & Saatchi Auckland continues its creative expansion with the appointment of writer Mike Felix, who has spent nearly four years at DDB, effective late October.
The highly awarded Felix, who has received more than 35 major gongs over the past three years, graduated from AUT in 2005 and joined DDB. He has worked on a range of high profile brands from AMI, Cadbury, and Lotteries New Zealand through to Sky Television, McDonald’s, Volkswagen and Watties.
He has a bunch of gold, silver and bronze Axis awards to his name, along with awards at Cannes, AWARD, AdFest, One Show and Clio, plus Orca and Young Guns wins. A range of his work has been showcased in the Work, and in D&AD.
Mike O’Sullivan, Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand ECD, says Felix has a stunning portfolio and a big future: “Needless to say we’re pretty happy to get our hands on one of the industry’s brightest talents. Obviously he’s got a way with words, and we’re keen to put that to good use!”
Felix will partner art director Matt Swinburne. Swinburne’s previous partner Helen Steemson is now working out of the Saatchi & Saatchi Wellington office.

Good on ya Mike, and top hire Saatchi’s. Mike F will be sorely missed. He’s a good one. The chicks will miss him too.
Is that you, Jenny?
Nah it’s me, Toby.
