Micah Walker joins The Monkeys

Micah Walker has joined The Monkeys as creative partner. Formerly in the same role at Fallon London, his most recent tenure was a four-year-stint with Mojo Sydney as executive creative director.

In a career spanning the most sophisticated international markets, Walker has worked with some of the world’s most innovative and respected brands and collected over 100 international and local awards. In 2011 he was an Australian representative on the Cannes Lions Jury.

Under his creative guidance, the agency won AWARD agency of the year and produced some of Australia’s most recognised and awarded work for Lion Nathan beer brands, James Boag’s and Hahn SuperDry and Coca Cola’s Burn. Pure Waters for Boags was named the world’s 4th most awarded spot of 2010 in the Gunn report, and was awarded Australia’s first and only Grand Clio in film.

On joining The Monkeys, Walker said he had a great deal of respect for how hard the team had worked and how willing it was to jump head first into different kinds of projects. 

“Seeing that kind of ambition was a genuine part of the culture first hand, was a really critical factor in coming on board for me,” he said.  “It’s the creative company in Australia that I feel has the most exciting future and I’m excited about what we’ll do together.”

The Monkeys co-founder and executive creative director, Justin Drape said Walker’s work spoke for itself. 

“He’s a genuinely unique talent and we’re thrilled that he’s going to be an integral part of the agency’s future,” he said. “He’s also a pretty good guy to have a beer with.”
