Akkomplice has appointed Glenn Dalton as its first ever chief creative officer.
The new CCO joins the independent creative agency after three years as the executive creative director of Hardhat.
Dalton’s career spans 20 years at agencies including CHEP and AJF Partnership, and he brings a wealth of brand and business building experience to the newly created position.
Throughout his career he has worked with a slew of notable brands including Dare Iced Coffee, Target, Holden, Boags, Big M, Forty Winks and Superhero.
Dalton’s work has also been recognised at local and international award shows, including the Effies where the long running ‘A Dare Fix’ll Fix It’ campaign was awarded the Grand Effie.
Dalton’s appointment to the growing creative team includes executive creative director, Sarah Oteri and creative director Lee Spencer, who joined the agency in last year from The Royals
Kenny Hill, the founder of Akkomplice, said: “They don’t come much better than Glenn. He’s a great guy with a lot of talent and experience, but he’s also got to be one of the nicest people on the advertising scene in Melbourne.
“His appointment coincides with our 8th anniversary in business and some great new business wins and hires. I couldn’t be happier to have him join our expanding team,” he added.
Dalton said of his new role: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the team at Akkomplice, an agency that is proudly Independent, and creatively fearless.
“Building upon the great work Kenny and the team has already done, my ambition is to work with some of the best people and brands to help turn a creative agency into a creative powerhouse. Too lofty? Maybe, but we’ll give it the best crack we can,” he added.
Dalton’s appointment comes after Akkomplice recently opened their new office in South Melbourne.
