Well done all.I know what it’s like to pack up and go to that market.It’s tough and unforgiving.But the experience is never wasted,just look at Ant White.What an amazing job he has done at CHE.My message to young creatives reading this is be brave.Go to the world and take on the best.
Long way from working from Ogilvy St Leonards for Luke and Mietta.Looks like the hard work has paid off guys,so big congrats.

Congrats. Though we really need more creatives to join this talented bunch. More creatives who are diverse in gender, race and ethnicity. Every other country is so much far ahead.
DN is so right.As a creative if you can’t find that diversity here go find it elsewhere.Learn from the different and the best in bigger and more diverse markets.That is what this talented group of Aussie creatives did and look what they achieved.Well done to all of them.
And sexuality mate! If you throw out diversity make sure to call out ALL under- represented people in Australias industry.
Come home Mietta.
We miss you!!
