I just realised how long it's been since I posted some news here. Needless to say I have been really busy -- which is great! For more current goings on please visit my blog at http://adland.posterous.com/

Happy New Year! Last year was epic. Thanks to everybody who made it memorable. 2010 has started with a bang, with plenty of projects on the go. This is the year of opportunities. Go get them.

Where is the year going? I've updated my portfolio and am now using a third party site to store all my work. It's now not so much a portfolio as an archive. Update: I have since closed the third party resource and am uploading content to my own server now.

Woah, a breather. Another crazy period with some big projects under my belt. More work for Monier as well as a newe cleint, 7daydeals.co.nz. They're on to something pretty exciting. Also three video projects and a new web site for the Aviation Industry Cluster. They've just celebrated manufacturign their 1,000th aircraft. Congrats guys! Just completed a big, new brochure for Trail-lite as well. Their new Piha model is stunning. Until next time...

Another busy period working on offline and online projects. One of my highlights was launching a more streamlined brick for Monier Bricks and Roofing via my agency, Adland. Monier Metro brick has a lower profile, by about 30%, so it's a sexy option for architects and designers alike. You really can create anything with brick. Adland picked up some new clients and we're now developing a new website for Waikato Aviation Cluster. A new identity will be forthcoming soon too. Adland also picked up Trail-lite Caravans and Motorhomes, New Zealand's premier modular designed motorhome manfufacturer. We've just completed their web site, a Google Adwords campaign and organic SEO, and we're now working on their next ad campaign.

Wow, what an incredibly busy period. Thanks to all my clients. I have just completed the Royal Easter Show campaign for 2009. This included TV, Radio, Press, DM, a new Flash website which can be viewed at http://www.royaleastershow.co.nz, Web banners (on TradeMe) and more. Also completed the Royal Easter Show Wine Awards material; wrote three websites (yet to go live); two successful RFPs; a credentials doc for an ad agency; a brochure redesign; two awesome AV presentations; improved the website functionality, programming and copy at http://www.asbshowgrounds.co.nz, and much more! Thanks to my partners in crime to help make these projects a success :-).

I've just finished a small project for a new advertising consultancy, helping them set up a new workflow system between client service, creative, production departments and their clients.

7 November 2008
I have just completed a strategic marketing assignment for a New Zealand ad agency, where I identified their strengths and created a positioning for them to take the next step in their agency's evolution. The strategic recommendations document will serve them for the next few years and I look forward to seeing them shine brightly in the near future.

I left my Executive Creative Director role at an Auckland agency at the end of October 2008 and am now available for agency and direct client assignments.
