"After freelancing at a few agencies over the last few years, I was surprised to find out just how far ahead of the game they are with their approach to AI and new tech, especially with bespoke, full-stack software built in-house for staff. They're truly unique in that sense, and agile enough to shift with the currents as we move into a new era of advertising led by AI and innovation." Michael Macgregor joins from 72andSunny, where he was design lead. Originally from the north-east of England, he has designed for some of Australia's biggest brands across Innocean Australia, CHE Proximity and Host/Havas, contributing to projects that were awarded two D&AD Black Pencils, a Cannes Lions Titanium Grand Prix, two Cannes Lions Grands Prix, and a Grand Effie along the way.

Jazz Twemlow steps up to ACD after returning to Paper Moose as senior creative copywriter. Between stints at the agency, he served as executive producer, showrunner, head writer and performer on Amazon Prime comedy series 'The Moth Effect', and as a writer and performer on 'Tonightly with Tom Ballard'. Hannah Stokes has been elevated to senior creative following her work on Paper Moose's brand work for Uniting NSW.ACT and the launch of travel platform Klook's first major Australian campaign. Paper Moose founder and CEO Nick Hunter said, "We've grown the way we like to grow. Senior tastemakers who will push the work to the next level, paired with a bleeding edge tech stack to enable them. Chris, Michael, Daniel, and Lili each bring something we needed more of, and Jazz and Hannah have been delivering incredible work while simultaneously leading the charge shaping our tools over the last few years. The calibre of people choosing an independent like us says a lot about where the industry is heading." The appointments cap a busy stretch for the indie, with recent new wins including Coffee Meets Bagel, Globird Energy, Travelex, Griffin Theatre Company, Shepherd Centre, and Magnum Ice Cream Company. Paper Moose is also the maker of Moose Review, its proprietary AI-powered creative testing platform, and Moose Gen, its proprietary generative tool.
