Hi, I’m Cam.
I’m an Associate Creative Director from the sprawling metropolis of Invercargill, New Zealand, now living in Melbourne. Over the last 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping build some of the world’s most iconic brands.
My work has earned over 50 nods at prestigious shows like Cannes, One Show, Clio, New York Festivals, LIA, Spikes, Effies, and AWARD. I’ve also won silver at Cannes Young Lions twice and had the honor of tutoring at AWARD School on several occasions.
I’ve worked at some of Australia’s top agencies, including Clemenger BBDO, McCann Melbourne, Dentsu, Cummins&Partners, and Thinkerbell. Most recently, as Creative Lead on XXXX, my work played a key role in Thinkerbell being named Campaign Brief Agency of the Year 2023.
Advertising has even allowed me to touch Arnold Schwarzenegger, in an awkward embrace that still haunts me to this day.

Testimonials
"Cam has a great creative spirit and an instinct for ideas that are both intelligent and fun. Particularly the kind of activation-led thinking that seems to appear out of thin air. He’s also armed with a sharp sense of humour (occasionally dark, always welcome, actually often dark) that tends to make the work, and the working better.
He has also been a deeply reliable human. He’s been trusted with some of Thinkerbell’s blue-chip clients and has built excellent relationships with stakeholders. He always approached problems with a balance of creativity and commercial understanding, always aiming to do what was right for the brand from both a business and creative perspective.
Any team looking for someone who can think broadly, bring ideas to life across different disciplines, and generally make the process more enjoyable would be lucky to have Cam.”
- Tom Wenborn, Chief Creative Officer, Thinkerbell
“Hard working, outrageously creative, and incredibly funny - Cam’s got it all covered. Whether it’s in meetings or leading presentations, his affable nature endears him to clients and fellow employees alike. And if his passion for the work or emotional intelligence isn’t enough, Cam brings a rich and varied collection of blazers that are sure to lift the fashion profile of any workplace.”
- Jake McLennan, Associate Creative Director, Khemistry
“Cam is a kind, loyal man who has taught me a lot about life. Mainly how to be positive, no matter what comes your way. He also has one of the most curious accents you’ll ever hear. Seriously, get him on the phone and give your ears a little treat.”
- Adam Slater, Creative Director, Droga 5
“I’m jealous of Cam’s book, which is about the highest compliment I can give. He’s also annoyingly likeable. Clever, funny, kind. Statistically unlikely in this racket.”
- Mike Fritz, Creative Director, Engine
