Both will report to Foley. The Australian agency was first acquired by Landor earlier this year and this is its first physical venture in an overseas market. Together, the team is "committed to creating bigger and better ideas by using custom tools that gain empathy and insights and to test creative hypotheses with real people".“The team will focus on idea-led innovation that uses design thinking to apply creativity to business problems and create breakthrough ideas,” said Giles Day, founding partner of NorthandSouth.Landor and NorthandSouth first worked together on the Jameson ready-to-drink launch in 2013, leading to further successful collaborations for Pernod Ricard Winemakers, Nestlé, Simplot, and KFC, among others.
