Life is about taking that next step. For me, that next step is finding an agency that wants to create the sort of advertising I ve built my career on in Australia. Work that people talk about. Campaigns that delight clients with their results, and agencies with the odd shiny trophy or two. Advertising that aims to solve client problems with a true 360/integrated approach. Be it here in Australia, or somewhere abroad, my goal is to land at an agency and make the sort of work others look at and wish they'd done themselves. If that sounds like the sort of Creative Director you re looking for, read on.
