Scott Lambert leaves DRAFTFCB Melbourne

After eight years as creative director of FCB/DRAFTFCB Melbourne, Scott Lambert has decided that it's time for something new.

“I was given a wonderful opportunity eight years ago to take the creative reins at FCB," Lambert says.

"In that time, I have had a great time working with some fabulous people, created lifetime friendships and produced work that I am extremely proud of."

Interestingly, Lambert's career so far has unfolded in blocks of eight years. Prior to arriving in Melbourne, he had worked for eight years in Singapore.

“Maybe it is the eight-year itch, but something is telling me that it is time to once again leap into the unknown. The prospect of a new challenge, a new network, and possibly a new country, excites me. By leaving in this way, I can pursue opportunities openly.”

“I would like to thank Andrew Scott, for the opportunity he gave Mark Ringer and I eight years ago, Christine Barnes for her wonderful support and friendship and Greg Eichmann for his understanding.”

Lambert will be phasing out his role at DRAFTFCB over the coming weeks.
