“Throughout the tender process Saatchi & Saatchi Australia clearly demonstrated a high level of strategic thinking and creative excellence, as well as good cultural alignment with nib,” Mr McKensey said.  “They have a very experienced team, led by Michael Rebelo, who are currently delivering great campaigns for a number of high profile national brands.

Upon meeting nib and understanding their ambition for the brand, we instantly knew we wanted to work with them. We look forward to what our new partnership will produce in the coming years.”
