BIO
Pronouns: He / Him
Current role: Head of the Account Management Department
Current industry: Advertising & Communications
I work at TBWA\NZ, a creative agency that creates advertising, communications and experiences for brands. I’ve helped created work for 2degrees, Southern Cross, Nissan, Instant Kiwi, The Warehouse Group and Asahi Beverages.
My experience means I can share insight into working in creative places, producing creative outputs alongside creatives, producers and clients, and about shifting from account management to strategic roles. More importantly the role of account management as the conductor of the orchestra, bringing it all together. I am very easy going, might swear once or twice and genuinely keen to help however I can - I can't wait to learn more about you and what you've been up too.
