“If all other things are equal, creativity isn’t.”

  • I've spent nearly 20 years as a creative director and copywriter, working across just about every industry you can think of, from FMCG, automotive, government, education, finance to agriculture, and more.

    My work has helped drive record sales for Mercedes-Benz, doubled sales for Honda, brought 4,500 new members to Vision Super, launched America's number one laundry brand in Australia, and drove a 92% increase in recruitment enquiries for the CFA. And I’ve helped shape and save lives through behaviour change: fire safety campaigns that genuinely helped keep people alive, and employment campaigns that treated Victorians like adults.

    That work has been recognised with multiple Summit International Creative Awards, including Gold for the Victorian Government Summer Fire Campaign and Jobs Victoria 'Backing You' campaign. In 2019, the same awards named us Top Agency, one of eight worldwide, and the only one in Australia. I've also judged the AC&E Craft Awards and guest lectured at RMIT on pitching and presenting.

    After two decades of watching agency overheads eat into client budgets and creativity alike, I founded Pitch Collective. It's a full-service creative collective, with strategy, creative, production, and media, delivered by senior freelance specialists without the traditional agency cost structure. Same calibre of thinking. Same people from start to finish. You invest in creativity, not corner offices.

  • I occasionally write about what I believe actually works in advertising: the research, the strategy, and why so much of the industry gets it wrong (or forgets to learn from the past, over at Pitch Collective.

    A few starting points: why the traditional agency model is broken, what the research says about creativity and profit, and the reason I started Pitch Collective in the first place.

  • In April 2025 I founded the Pitch Collective, a creative collective of freelancers providing creative services without the agency overheads, hierarchy or costs, with direct access to exceptional creative talent. For all enquires email hello@pitchcollective.au or call +61 411 148 815
