Droga5 ANZ co-chief creative officer Barbara Humphries will depart after 14 years.

Humphrie  joined the agency in 2012 when it was still known as The Monkey.

For well over a decade, she worked through the ranks from senior art director to co-chief creative officer.

“We can confirm Barbara Humphries is leaving Droga5,” a spokesperson said.

“We thank her for her significant contribution and wish her all the best for the future."

Humphries and Damon Stapleton were appointed co-chief creative officers in April last year.

Humphries worked on high profile projects such as the Cannes Lions Dan Wieden Titanium Grand Prix-winning The First Digital Nation for the Tuvaluan Government and Cannes Lions Film Grand Prix-winning Play It Safe for The Sydney Opera House.
