jnr. appoints creative team Danny Brown and Emerson Hunt as Associate Creative Directors

Independent, Trans-Tasman, creative agency jnr. has bolstered its creative department with the hires of Danny Brown and Emerson Hunt as Associate Creative Directors.

The appointments come off the back of an incredible 12 months of growth for the agency, which was recently named Emerging Agency of the Year at the Mumbrella Awards, and has a number of massive new business wins across Australia and Aotearoa, soon to be announced.

The duo were the creative masterminds behind jnr.’s recent Pizza Hut brand re-launch campaign, ‘How Bad Do You Want Good?’, and will continue to lead the account creatively.

Prior to joining jnr., the pair were at DDB Aotearoa, where they worked across a range of clients, most notably McDonald’s and Lotto NZ, and took home a plethora of awards from shows including Cannes Lions, Spikes Asia, and AXIS.

Says jnr.’s Executive Creative Director and Partner, Jenny Mak: “Danny and Emerson are the kind of creatives every agency wants in its corner. They’re curious about people, culture and the world, and that curiosity makes its way into the work. They bring a rare combination of sharp creative thinking, great craft and a point of view that feels entirely their own. And on top of all that, they’re wonderful people to have around. I couldn’t be happier to have them joining us.”

Say Brown and Hunt: “Jenny, John and Ryan are building something really exciting here. The team’s ambitious. The clients are brave. The thinking’s fresh. And from the get-go, we just clicked. All that made joining jnr. a no-brainer for us. We’re stoked to be part of the next chapter and can’t wait to get stuck into more great work together. And while Brown & Hunt may sound like a whisky, we’re not big drinkers. So, we’ll raise a kombucha to this one.”

Adds Managing Director and Founder John Marshall: “Danny and Em are not only incredible creative talents but are genuinely good people too. Their craft, dedication and leadership on Pizza Hut and our other Client Partners have been world-class and the impact they have had on the team and the culture we are building at jnr. has been significant. I speak on behalf of all of us at jnr., we are pumped to have them on the team.”
