Whõ?
Creative Director. Brand Builder. Business Grower.
I create effective advertising campaigns, engaging social content, innovative digital platforms and immersive experiences for ambitious organisations big and small.
I’ve worked across Australia, Asia and Europe for the world's most innovative marketing and technology agencies, helping the world’s biggest brands become that little bit bigger.
I turned a Formula One engine into a singing character for Honda. Created an award-winning augmented reality video game for HSBC. Organised Asia’s biggest street culture festival for Mercedes-Benz. I even designed a giant digital periscope for Twitter.
Now based in Australia, I continue to work with brave, open-minded people who use creativity and technology to change fate and fortune.

People saying nice things about me.
“Keith understands business and develops creative ideas that help to solve real problems. Coming from a strategist this is probably one of the highest compliments I could offer and one of the reasons that I really loved working with Keith.
He is not only a great creative, but he is very good at focusing his creative energy and ideation in the places that will make the most impact. He understands technology and user experience very well which makes the canvas for his ideas that much broader and ensures that ideas are being applied in the best way possible.
Beyond that he is a great team leader who energies the teams and the people around him - excites clients and the people whom he presents to and is just a genuinely good person to be around.”
— Justin Peyton, Global Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer, VML USA
“Keith is that rare breed of creative talent who blends inventive creative solutions, with a strong business acumen, to solve client's problems. Quite simply "his work, works" and gives clients the results they need while engaging consumers in insightful and innovative ways.
Keith excels at both left and right brain thinking. Clients love him, his creative teams look up to him, and he makes hard work fun. I've enjoyed all the time we've worked together, and if given the chance, would do so again in a heart-beat.”
— Lauren Ahern, Global Client Lead, MRM Middle East
“Keith is one of those rare creative minds that are profoundly analytical and strategic. You don't brief Keith; you work with Keith in defining creative and strategic solutions that always address clients' most complex problems at a business, product, marketing, communications level. He also has a strong understanding of technology and channels, making him very powerful at tailoring native ideas to any platform based on data. Last but not least, he is a great team leader, inspiring and mentoring the people around him.”
— Mehdi Elaichouni, Strategy Director, VaynerMedia APAC
“In the crazy world of advertising, Keith is the one person who stays calm and level-headed, and even manages to crack a handful of jokes! Working with him has been both a privilege and a lot of fun. As a Creative Director, Keith has vast knowledge and experience across different industries and communication channels. In our time working together, he's given me tons of great advice, both to push the work and to help me in my career. He manages to strike the delicate balance of being a great mentor while giving younger creatives their independence.”
