I worked with Dan for a couple of years at TBWA Sydney in his role as Creative Director. Dan is a world class creative and art director with a talent for unearthing and developing big ideas. He's a natural creative leader with an edge, and brings the best out of the people around him. Dan is highly collaborative and always pushes for the right answer. He's provided invaluable creative leadership across some of our most important clients. He's also a fun, lovely bloke to be in the trenches with.SOME NICE THINGS PEOPLE SAID
GAVIN MCLEOD:
CCO - EMOTIVE
Dan joined us on a 3 month freelance gig in 2020 at Ogilvy and immediately helped us win a major pitch for ING Bank. I was incredibly impressed with his creativity across a wide mix of media and platforms. Dan is an extremely talented creative, a wonderfully kind and patient person, but also fiercely driven and extremely passionate about what he does. He’s great with clients, a brilliant mentor to younger creatives and a deft hand at easing the concerns of a stressed out CCO. ANDY DILALLO:
CCO - MILK & HONEY
I was lucky enough to have Dan with us for over 2 years at TBWA. In that time he played an instrumental role as a Creative Director for our key accounts including Amazon, which he helped launch here in Australia. Dan is a relentless creative thinker, and wherever he goes he’s a crowd favourite, from the creative department to client service and most importantly the client boardroom. If you’re lucky enough to have him sitting in front of you, hire him.SOME NOT NICE THINGS TEACHERS SAID
