About

Me in a nutshell.

Hi. I’m Brendan and I’m way less serious in real life than in that photo.

I’ve been working as a creative since 2006, a creative director since 2015 and an Executive Creative Director since 2020. In that time I’ve made a bunch of work I’m proud of and, a bunch that I’m not. Contained in these pages is some of the work I’m proud of.

In my 14 years in the industry I’ve won over 100 awards both locally and internationally. I’ve also been fortunate enough to be featured in the Adnews Top 20 Creative Power list a few times now.

I’m also batting a perfect game in pitches in the last few years having lead the team that won Gumtree, Tourism Tasmania, Amazon Prime, Fiji Airways, Sydney Water, and TAB plus a numerous project based clients.

Of all the awards however, there are three personal standouts.

Most recently, I was instrumental in Clemenger BBDO Sydney (my current agency) being named AWARD Award Agency of the Year in 2019.
I was a founding partner of Clemenger’s experimental agency TKT and we were named Adnews Small Agency of the Year in 2018
Also in 2018, I won a GOLD APAC Effie for long term effectiveness for my work on V Energy Drink.

From 2015-2018 I ran AWARD School and still to this day serve on the board of AWARD. Being asked to run the school was a massive offer as I got my start after winning AWARD School in 2006

When I’m not working I spend way too much time collecting records. Beard, Glasses, and collects records. Yep peak cliché ad wanker.. Check out my insta if you dig soul, jazz and other oddities. Or Tune into Eastside FM on Tuesday’s at 6:30pm to hear my radio show Expansions
