The move expands Mescall’s role at McCann and will see him marshal creative resources across all of the group’s regions and disciplines.
McCann Worldgroup has appointed John Mescall (pictured) to President of its Global Creative Council, an expanded creative role charged with helping the worldwide network to marshal creative resources across all of its regions and disciplines. He retains his responsibilities as a Global Executive Creative Director.
“Since moving to New York from Australia two years ago, John has brought his terrific creative energy to the network. I’ve asked him to take on additional responsibilities to maximise our creative opportunities everywhere,” said Rob Reilly, Global Creative Chairman of McCann Worldgroup.
Mescall was ECD at McCann Australia before being promoted and moved to New York to join Reilly’s global creative leadership team in 2014. He is best known for his creative work on Dumb Ways to Die, the Australian Metro Trains campaign most awarded in advertising history and at the Cannes Lions Festival.
“Under Rob’s leadership, we’ve been able to come together and leverage our access to global resources to make a big impact, quickly. The Council’s goal is to harness the incredible collective intelligence of McCann’s global talent and then find smart ways to apply that powerful creative network to real client needs,” said Mescall.
