O'Neill has been tasked with enhancing the relationship between the agency's three main operations in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland as well as continuing to build on client relationships, with a roster that includes key global brand, Nissan.

"Philip is an outstanding advertising man, and in the short time he's been with the group he has demonstrated that he has what it takes to lead our Melbourne office," said David Walden (left), CEO Whybin\TBWA NZ in a statement.
