Stone returned to Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand as CEO in 2004 after leaving the network in London.

O'Sullivan, former ECD at Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand, was crowned the most awarded creative director in Australasia by Campaign Brief. He has topped the ranking five times in the last ten years.

Alomajan joined from his position as creative strategist at Tribal DDB. Prior to that he worked as digital business director at BBDO/Proximity. He has obtained international awards on digital solutions for clients including Air New Zealand, The Warehouse and TVNZ.

“At the end of the day, Droga5 is in the business of positive results. We are not about spending our way through a problem but rather thinking our way to a solution. To deliver this, I need to be in partnership with the best minds regardless of location. I have always been a fan of Mike and Rocky and am thrilled to call them partners,” says David Droga (pictured center), founder and creative chairman at Droga5 in New York.

The New Zealand operation marks the third global office after Droga5 opened in Sydney where Duncan Marshall recently came on board as ECD from New York. Their current client base in Australia includes VB, Crown, Cascade, V Australia and Telstra.
