Mark Tomlinson, co-founder and managing director of the Johannesburg business, will be taking over as group managing director, with Joey Khuvutlu replacing him and Robyn Campbell, who has grown with the business for nine years, taking on the position of managing director in the Cape Town office.
FCB Africa group CEO and chief creative officer Brett Morris says, “When someone as talented as Dave leaves the business, it’s obviously going to provide an opportunity for others to step up. We’re incredibly excited about the next generation of leadership at Hellocomputer.”
He adds, “The agency has cemented its place as one of the continent’s leading digital specialists and has helped establish FCB Africa as a leading integrated agency. This is, however, is just the beginning for us. The new team has considerable experience combined with youthful drive and passion for innovation, and we have some audacious ambitions for the future.”
Aside from award recognition, Tomlinson has judged at the Loeries, the Cannes Lions and the FWAs. He also served as a committee member of the Bookmark Awards and has sat on the DMMA Digital Creative Circle Judging panel. His work has also been published in publications like the Taschen’s Web Navigation.
Moffatt concludes, “Hellocomputer, and more recently our inclusion into the FCB Group, has been the most extraordinary journey. I’ve enjoyed the trust of many wonderful clients and had the privilege of being surrounded by immensely talented colleagues. I’m going to miss it terribly, but look forward to watching Hellocomputer’s future successes from the sideline.”
