Special Wellington appoints Aussie expat Josh Brown as Associate Creative Director

Special Wellington has announced the appointment of Aussie expat Josh Brown as Associate Creative Director, joining from McCann Auckland as the agency continues to grow its creative offering in the capital.

Brown brings extensive experience across the Australian and New Zealand creative industries, having worked with some of the country’s leading agencies and biggest brands. His background spans integrated creative, brand and campaign work, with a focus on brave ideas underpinned by strong craft and execution.

Since arriving in New Zealand from Melbourne 18 months ago, he has worked at McCann Auckland and DDB Group Aotearoa, following his time at DDB Melbourne. Already, Brown has become an integral part of the team, bringing impactful thinking and world-class craft across Special’s current client portfolio.

Says Mark Forgan, Executive Creative Director, Special: “We’re excited to have Josh joining our team. He’s exactly the creative fit we’ve been looking for: ambitious, disruptive, and tenacious drive to create world-class creative. His work on Vogel’s and, more recently, AA Insurance shows the level of craft he brings to help clients stand out and command people’s attention.”

Says Brown,: “I feel very lucky to be joining one of the best creative agencies in New Zealand in our capital. There’s a history of incredibly interesting, unusual and important work here, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this great team and help shape the work going forward.”

Brown’s appointment follows a strong period for Special Wellington, with the agency recognised across AXIS, D&AD and the Effies, and most recently at the Marketing Awards for its Great Hounds campaign for Greyhounds As Pets.
