Mick Stalker promoted to deputy creative director to lead Colenso BBDO’s fast-turnaround offer
Colenso BBDO today announced that Mick Stalker has been promoted to deputy creative director and will head up Colenso BBDO’s fast-turnaround offer.
The move is another step in the evolution of the agency, which is broadening its skill base according to its clients’ needs.
Says Colenso BBDO managing director, Nick Garrett: “We’ve been listening to our clients, most of which want to work with a fully integrated agency, and that includes the need to turn around large volumes of work quickly and cost effectively.”
“We are thrilled to announce Mick’s appointment as deputy creative director and head of this side of our business. He has made a valuable contribution to the agency’s past achievements, as well as the overall culture and leadership, and it is the obvious next step in his career,” says Colenso BBDO’s creative chairman, Nick Worthington. “
Worthington continued: “Mick has already started to build a really strong team around him. It’s awesome to see both talent and drive in such a good bloke.”
Stalker has spent 14 years in the advertising industry, four and a half of those with Colenso. He has worked across all aspects of the business, winning both local and international awards for his work, including a D&AD in book award and gold at Spikes Asia
Says Stalker: “In a fragmented market with challenging budgets, a good agency should be able to turnaround a variety of work in the time-frames required. You need to be able to produce the big ideas, while also being able to produce high-quality work in the fast-paced retail environment.”
Garrett says the appointment signifies a renewed focus on the fast-turnaround side of Colenso’s business and Mick’s appointment highlights their growing investment in this area.

“99, You won’t deny Colenso of its retail future.” – Robert Morgan .
Huh – I thought that was what 99 was for.
does that mean they win Voda?
Stalker vs Hanko. Sorry Mick, you’re a good bloke but this is like Jonah vs Catt.
JTM3. Bingo. No contest.
Jtm3 and Agree pussies – stop being such pussy fuck wits. If possible without medication.
Congratulations Mick. The whole “In a fragmented market blah blah…” doesn’t sound like you but you’re still a top creative, with the best pate in town so please keep doing what you’re doing and enjoy the deserved success.
Well done.

Big collapse of confidence at College Hill for this to happen. You can smell the desperation as far away as Greys Av and Richmond Road. The beginning of the end.

Is that you Mick?
Self praise and all that.
When you can’t hand out money, hand out titles… Seems a lot of people are getting new name tags since 99 took the telco.
Well done Colenso for staying in the news. You might not be relevant, but at least you’re present.
2.15.
“Well-played” you say?
That would be right.
Hard to imagine any other reason for this ‘appointment’ to happen.
Nice work Mick.
I like to imagine Jack the Ripper typing his comment with a Sherlock Holmes voice.
I must say, Its great to see a lot more Kiwi’s taking up the regins of CD or ECD in the last two year. Well Done to you all!
Mick is English. So. Your comment is irrelevant.
Very English. You’d swear you were speaking to royalty if you chatted over the phone. Very posh.
So creatives are leaving Colenso already after this news? Not surprised.
Well done Mick, at lasted they recognise what a genius you are. love jules x
