Important stuff.
Toby is a freelance Creative Director based in Melbourne.
He doesn’t usually talk about himself in the third person, but for these purposes he’ll give it a go.
Over his career Toby has worked at some of the world’s leading agencies and has picked up multiple awards for global brands such as YouTube, Samsung and Miller High Life.
Before diving into the freelance world Toby was a Creative Director at Clemenger BBDO Melbourne working on CUB, TAC, Ford and Mars.
This followed a six year stint in the U.S. at Anomaly NYC and adam&eveDDB New York.
As Creative Director at adam&eveDDB New York Toby led accounts including MillerCoors, Pepsi, and TJ Maxx, and won consecutive graphite pencils at D&AD for his work on Samsung.
In previous lives Toby has been a suit, a refugee lawyer, and a shelf stacker in his family’s Mensland store.
He settled into the life of a creative after placing 3rd at Award School Melbourne in 2011 and hasn’t looked back.
Shiny stuff.
