Darren Spiller

After a number of years as Regional ECD at Publicis Mojo Australia and a member of the Publicis Creative Global Board, Darren moved to the US to pick up the reigns of the CCO position at Fallon.

Three years later he returned to Australia to take up the ECD role at DDB Melbourne. In early 2017 he was appointed chief creative officer of Host, which then merged with sister shop Havas to form Host/Havas. In 2018 Darren departed in search of a new challenge, and in 2019 he has lured to the chief creative officer role at McCann, Sydney.

Darren believes the best work is usually the product of great agency/client relationships. He has proven that many times over with award winning work in shows for Cannes, D&AD, One Show and Award for such clients as Nike, Toyota, McDonald's, Tourism Victoria and Nestle to name a few.

His other full time job is raising five children, but has had severe reprimands for lack of attendance in the home office.
