Exciting Growth for Motion Sickness

Independent agency Motion Sickness is making waves with the addition of five talented new hires at its Auckland office. This strategic move enhances its capabilities in client service, strategy, and creative work, signifying a pivotal moment of growth fueled by several major wins. Highlights of their success include snagging a Global Grand Effie for their impactful campaign with Fire and Emergency New Zealand, along with new projects for notable clients like Pizza Hut, Heart of the City, Waitoa Chicken, and Whānau Ora.

Meet the New Faces of Motion Sickness

The agency welcomes Emma Richardson as Client Service Director, Julia Shasha as Senior Account Manager, Alexandra Clark as Account Manager, and Logan Barnes as Strategist. Additionally, Sylvia Humphries is making a exciting comeback as Senior Copywriter after honing her skills abroad for three years.

Building Stronger Client Partnerships

Richardson's appointment as Client Service Director marks a new era for the agency. With nearly 20 years of experience in managing large-scale integrated campaigns and brand strategies, she aims to strengthen senior client relationships. "Motion Sickness is known for its bold creativity and ambition. I’m thrilled to contribute to this next chapter and help fuel our growth," Richardson stated.

A Diverse Team with Unique Skills

Shasha steps in as Senior Account Manager, bringing a strategic mindset shaped by her years at creative agencies. Clark, now full-time as Account Manager, has been a part of the team since early 2024, leveraging her broad experience in production and client services. Meanwhile, Barnes joins as Strategist, ready to make an immediate impact, collaborating with the Head of Strategy on projects ranging from behavior change to boosting brand visibility.

The Return of a Talented Copywriter

Humphries is back after gaining international experience, and she adds valuable strength to the agency's esteemed creative department. Her witty remark about returning for intriguing projects and the unfortunate closure of a nearby vegan shop highlights the vibrant culture at Motion Sickness. "Why go anywhere else when they’ve been creating such incredible work for three years?" she humorously noted.

A Year of Recognition and Acclaim

These new additions arrive after a stellar year for Motion Sickness, filled with accolades both locally and globally. Their innovative and effective campaigns have earned them nominations at the AOY Global Awards and top honors at the prestigious Effies, solidifying their position in the competitive advertising landscape.
