A bit about me

I’m not the biggest fan of bio’s but lets give this a go.

I’m Addison — an integrated strategist with a love for creating work that connects and makes people give a sh*t about a brand. Over the past ten years, I’ve been lucky enough to have had the chance to work with some incredible people and companies alike — leading strategies for Budget Direct, Unilever, BBC, NSW Health, and Kellogg’s.

But it’s not just about the big brands (honestly I think the small ones are more fun) — it’s about making work that makes myself and more importantly others, feel good. I’ve worked across behaviour change campaigns tackling anti-tobacco and anti-vaping for Cancer Institute NSW, using strategy to help people tackle addiction.

Before moving to Sydney I lectured part-time — sharing what I’ve learned at Bond University teaching Branding, Advertising, & Popular Culture. At Bond I got to share memes, and diluted stories about agency life.

I just want to create amazing work, with cool people, while having fun. That’s why I got into this industry and that’s whats kept me here.

Some Skills

(This feels obvious but necessary)

As an integrated strategist, I take a holistic approach to ensure that all strategies across channels are connected and aligned with the broader brand vision. I believe that every element — whether social, digital, comms, or design — should ladder up to brand.
