Natalie Knight and Murray Watt join FCB NZ’s creative team, both in senior writer roles

FCB New Zealand has today announced two new staff members have joined the creative team – Natalie Knight as a senior writer and Murray Watt returns also as a senior writer.

Knight joins FCB after eight years at DDB. During that time, she has picked up international awards for the likes of NZ Lotteries, SKY TV, Lion Breweries, Steinlager, McDonalds and Volkswagen.

At FCB Knight will be partnered with Kelly Lovelock.

Says Knight: “I’m excited to join FCB. There’s a good energy and great clients.”

Watt returns to FCB after four years working on brands such as Skinny and D-Max. He is the brains behind the iconic Mitre 10 sandpit ad and a raft of other much loved Kiwi campaigns.

Says Watt: “It’s great to be back. I’m already getting stuck in.”

Says Tony Clewett, executive creative director, FCB New Zealand: “We’re excited to have two such creative legends join, or in Muz’s case, re-join, our creative department. They both bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to the team. They are both a lot of fun and neither of them are wankers. We don’t like those round here.”
