dentsu NZ general manager Luke Farmer set to depart after nearly 10 years with the agency
dentsu New Zealand general manager Luke Farmer is set to depart the agency at the end of September. Farmer has been with agency for nearly 10 years, first joining in 2012 as managing partner.
Farmer announced the news on LinkedIn, saying: “September will be my last month at dentsu New Zealand, bringing an end to a huge, brilliant part of my career.
“In 2012 I was brought on by Daniel Barnes and Paul Catmur to Barnes, Catmur and Friends to help shape this small indie agency. Since then I’ve had the privilege to help grow the business and build its reputation as a top independent agency with a #1 in APAC and #3 in the world, on the APAC Effie Awards rankings. Off the back of this success we were acquired by dentsu in 2016, becoming BC&F Dentsu, then earlier this year changing to dentsu.
“It was at this point I felt like a new challenge was required. So, it’s with a heavy heart I leave friends, colleagues, clients and a business that myself and an amazing team of good folk helped build. Whilst we grew in size we still made a heap of meaningful, distinctive work all while having a bunch of solid times together.
“I wish the team at dentsu all the best and are excited to see the business succeed long into the future.”

Well done on your run at BCF & Dentsu.
Grows a beautiful mo.
Of the three phases of Luke I preferred best; the clean shaven John Cena look, the moustached Murray Mexted look, and the height of hipster Jack Dorsey bearded look, I think the moustache was the winner.
All the best. Next time, let’s go for lamb chops.
