The first creative agency I stepped foot in was Special Group, when it was about 12 people.
I’ve flushed the toilets at Colenso BBDO, had Nick Worthington and Simon Vicars find the diamonds in my work, walked into Damon Stapleton’s office with ideas on post-it notes, and shown Rich Silverstein 438 rip films (and counting).
I bring a level of craft to the work, learned from all of these people, that can turn something expected into a completely new idea.
I’m also a top contender in the LinkedIn keyword awards, having won big pieces of business, made a Super Bowl commercial, and being awarded at almost every major show. I also try avoid writing fake PR lines like—
“Meet the Kiwi CD bringing adventurous ‘southern hemisphere creative thinking’ to the US.” – Adweek.
