Dean and Bridget Taylor form Contagion with a slice of Tourism New Zealand
NBR’s Hazel Phillips reports that New Zealand ad couple Dean and Bridget Taylor are set to open their own consultancy, Contagion which has scored a slice of Tourism New Zealand – in a global, strategic capacity, say NBR sources. NBR says the company has a 50/50 shareholding, split between the couple, who are joint directors. Records show it was set up last month.
As previously reported by CB back in July, Dean Taylor departed the Saatchi& Saatchi Singapore & Malaysia CEO gig due to personal reasons to return to NZ with wife Bridget Taylor, who was a CD at BBDO/Proximity, Singapore, and had resigned back in June..
Taylorpreviously was the managing director of Saatchi’s Auckland office andtransferred to run the Singapore agency at the start of 2009.

Well done guys! Good luck.
What’s TNZ’s relationship with Assignment now btw? If this is a slice, do Assignment have other slices? Did they lose this slice or is this a new piece of business? Just curious.
Great to have you both back.
They can’t do any worse than they did in Singapore…
Wow. CB cencership kicking in on this one. I distinctly remember reading a couple of negative comments yesterday. Now they’ve magically disappeared. Looks like the hand of Dean and Bridget is already doing its thing.
Hey 7.34 – shame the “cencership” doesn’t do spell check huh.
Good on you Dean and Bridget; great to have you guys back.
What happened in singapore?
Back in time for the TVR to come out of the shop.
What could anyone say bad about these two lovely individuals.
