Professional services organisation Deloitte has hired David Harris as the first creative director of the firm’s in-house agency 368.

With 368’s newly formed creative department, Harris will

oversee the firm’s creative studio

. 

David said: “I went into advertising to create work that people would talk about, that would fondly stay in their minds, and with soundtracks they’d whistle along to. I’m looking forward to developing campaigns which cut through the noise,

create an impact

and reflect the firm’s variety, innovation and integrity.”

Harris left advertising agency Gyro earlier in February after serving three years as both chief creative and executive creative director. He has collectively garnered more than 30 years’ agency experience, including as creative director for Wunderman, DraftFCB and IMP London. He also co-founded creative agency LIDA, where he was the creative partner for eight years.

368 leader Nick Burbidge said: “368 launched in 2018 drawing together our events, marketing delivery, CRM, studio and digital teams into

an in-house agency model

, consolidating their skills in order to develop more impactful and award-winning campaigns for Deloitte. David is now leading our creative department, bringing with him knowledge and experience, which will be fundamental in sparking fresh ideas and creating campaigns to resonate with our clients.”
