At PAA, Goldring will oversee a 27-strong creative department, working closely with creative directors Richard Worrow and Ross Newton, as well as founder and chairman Steve Aldridge. He will report to PAA chief executive Martin Nieri.
Goldring will be the agency’s first ECD for a number of years. Aldridge used to assume the role.

Goldring began his career in his native New Zealand at Publicis and AIM Proximity before joining DDB in 2010 as creative director at Rapp Tribal.
