Special promotes Jolene D’Souza and Josh Taylor-Dadds to group strategy directors

Special has announced the promotions of Jolene D’Souza and Josh Taylor-Dadds to group strategy directors.

D’Souza and Taylor-Dadds have been instrumental figures across their client portfolios during their tenure at Special and their well-deserved promotions to group strategy directors is a result of their incredible work ethic and strategic prowess which have been fundamental to the success of the wider agency.

With more than ten years of industry expertise across a variety of categories, D’Souza is passionate about bringing innovation and creativity to all areas of her work.

Says D’Souza: “Special has never shied away from pushing boundaries and questioning the norms. It’s not a fluke that the work produced is brave and fame generating – that’s always the goal, because it’s the key to delivering truly effective work. I am proud to be part of a team that is completely committed to this approach.”

Taylor-Dadds echoes this sentiment based on his experience at Special over the past year: “It’s tough out there – more brands, channels, content, and more sh*t going on in people’s lives. To stand out and be chosen, brands must be truly ‘Special’. I’m lucky to work in a building that believes in that and is committed to making it come true for our clients.”

Says Rory Gallery, chief strategy officer, Special: “I am super proud of Jolene and Josh. You always love to work with the best people, but it makes it even sweeter when they are such wonderful human beings.”
