Matt Antonello and Noel Fenn have joined the Toronto office of FCB Canada as group creative directors. The moves reflect a growth spurt at FCB that included a number of client wins (most recently Ontario Tourism), the expansion of the creative department and the promotion of Nancy Crimi-Lamanna and Jeff Hilts to chief creative officers late last summer.
“With our move into the CCO role, we wanted to put into place a creative structure that keeps us focused on elevating our creative product on a day-to-day basis,” said Crimi-Lamanna. “In January, we promoted Jeremiah McNama and Andrew MacPhee to group creative directors and with the addition of Matt and Noel, we’ve rounded out a senior creative leadership team that will help us continue to build on our momentum.”
Antonello got his start as a writer and was most recently creative director with Saatchi & Saatchi. During his time there, The Gay Sweater Project earned a shelf-full of creative hardware including The Impact Award at the D&AD awards. Earlier in his career at DDB, he won two Cannes Lions for Cialis “Mustang” and Best of the Best at the CMAs for Subaru “Carwash.”
Fenn got his start as a designer and art director and was most recently at Zulu Alpha Kilo as associate creative director. Like Antonello, Fenn has a long list of international and domestic awards on his resume. At Zulu Alpha Kilo he worked on Cineplex’s much loved “Lily and the Snowman” and 1903 | A Harley-Davidson Café. Earlier in his career he earned One Show, Effie and Clio acclaim for his work on IKEA’s Human Coupons.
