Lindsay Rogers
Co-Founder & Managing Director
Lindsay was once fired from a magazine, perhaps because her communication skills extend far beyond a glossy page. In fact, she knows the phonetic and fingerspelling alphabets, is an absurdly fast typer, and always up for slightly inappropriate banter.
We mean the kind of banter that makes Lindsay laugh so uproariously that everyone in the studio stops what theyâre doing to look over their monitors in astonished silence. We think it must be the same laugh that won over her imaginary friends Ali and Ixox when she was younger (it sure explains a lot).

Tristan Velasco
Co-Founder & Creative Director
With a bunch of time on ‘client side’, Tristan knew it was time to give full-time content creation a red hot go. He’s a lover of getting down to it, making a way and solving problems. Tris is all about creating cool stuff; written, typography inspired, hand drawn, painted or shot, he’s got the eye.
An early riser, soy flat white drinker and golf extraordinaire. Tris believes ideas come in many forms and that’s the complexity of our weird and wonderful brains.

Philippa Jameson
General Manager
When Philippa started her career in advertising she first worked with Nestle. Sheâs never gotten over her love of chocolate. First love runs deep.
To rival her love of chocolate is a love of France. Francophile. This Francophile appreciates saucisson, vineyards, the French language and (happily for us) putting together a cheeseboard par excellence. While an obvious bon vivant, sheâs always up for a challenge. Sheâs jumped out of a plane, jumped off a waterfall, swung over the Nevis canyon and climbed a live volcano⊠all even though sheâs terrified of heights. She has also run a casual marathon on the Great Wall of China (a place not known for its running-friendly surface). It seems the one challenge she hasnât confronted was her childhood aspiration to be a DJ, which she âluckilyâ grew out of. But itâs turned her into the 80s pop trivia master that she is today.

Christina Knox
Senior Account Director
Not a morning person. But more of a person post-coffee. This describes Christina, but somehow it speaks for us all. After studying design and photography at uni Christina realised she could use both sides of her brain in advertising â and immediately enrolled in a masters. But she has useless talents too. She names reciting the alphabet in Italian and in sign language as talents that will not get her far in life.
Terrified of needles, sheâs tried hypnosis to erase the fear â and now she doesnât pass out when sheâs getting jabbed in the arm. She still hates needles though. She is, however, a lover of gin, bad dad jokes and quoting a wide range of movies and television shows. At least after a coffee she is.

Ben Wall
Account Director (contract)
Ben is a born and bred Melburnian who doesn’t always wear black. It’s something we’re trying to get our head around, but these people do exist. If there’s one thing Ben prides himself on, it’s being a Master AttempterÂź. He’s currently attempting surfing, golf, and ‘smoothing out’ his woodworking skills. He’s also finishing his Masters in International Relations, where he hopes to surpass the ‘attempting’ level in favour of the ‘Masters of Completion’ level.

Drou Angelides
Account Director
Spelt âDrou,â pronounced âDrew,â short for âAndroulla,â baptised as âAndrianna.â Drouâs topsy-turvy naming conventions foreshadowed a lifetime of zany misadventures with equally far-reaching, confusing consequences. At the age of 8 or 9, she experienced a catastrophic food-poisoning incident courtesy of what she reasonably assumed to be a benign Filet-O-Fish.
As a result, she now suffers from an acute tomato sauce phobia and would prefer it if this vulnerable information is not circulated to her friends and co-workers or indeed via an extremely public work bio. However, this early brush with certain death has clearly imbued her with a fearless spirit: Drou has bungee jumped in Zimbabwe, sky-dived in South Africa, hiked for three weeks in the Himalayas and once sailed a hand-built wooden raft down the Amazon for a week in Bolivia.

Traci Chapman
Senior Traffic/Project Manager
Firstly, we know you’re all thinking it, so we’ll address it up front. No, Traci Chapman does not have a fast car. But what she doesn’t have in wheels, she makes up on the basketball court with her very fast legs. Traci is an avid (albeit lapsed) basketball player, kitchen-knife aficionado and holiday-maker, having travelled and lived all over the world from Vancouver to Thailand. Digging deeper, we found Traci has also been to Ireland, where, unlike Mark, she has landed twice, but never left the airport. We suspect she was there to catch a very fast plane.

Stella Reeve
Account Executive
HEY STELLA! Feel free to try, but youâve gotta give it some welly⊠them be the rules, or so she says. Outside of navigating 50s movie references being shouted at her, Stella would rather be stuck in the 60s as a trailblazing country music singer. But she makes do riding out the 2020s with her ever dependable Tenterfield Terrier, Bean, and her equally loved, if somewhat less dependable Sydney Swans. But every loss has a silver lining when you can head home and find solace in whipping up a three-hour long Ottolenghi recipe. Making Bean, (full of âem) one lucky laddie.

Ceri Jones
Producer
If spiders terrify you with their insistence on being present in your company, Ceri is the person to call on so that said spider can be released into a vicinity that is not your own. This makes her an asset in an office, and Australia more generally. Yet her first eighteen years of life were spent in small English towns â and London, where she hit the books at Central Saint Martins. With a fascination for the odd and macabre, her weakness is haunted houses.
She is unable to pass one without daring to enter, which may prove inconvenient at times. She is a proud parent to two rabbits, Ballet Slippers and Captain Willard.

Charlie Roberts
Senior Copywriter
The first thing to know about Charlie is that his dog is about 65% of his personality. The second, Charlie is half-deaf on one side, so legally can never be accused of ignoring anyone. Although frustratingly for him, this particular ailment doesnât stretch as far as an extra parking sticker.
Other trivial points include a small obsession with seaweed, likely an internalised after-effect of his youth spent roaming Scottish beaches. And that he holds football coaching qualifications. Which in no discernible way helps his writing, but does mean he excels at laying out delightful cone displays.
More pertinently, an early school report notes that “Charles is a most able young dancer.” – You have been warned.

Lauren Barrett
Production Assistant
When asking her loved ones for weird facts about her for this very bio, someone responded to Lauren, âYouâre from Armidaleâ. Rude! But alsoâŠ? Kinda funny.
In Armidale, she rode horses, competing in dressage and hack. (Weâll save you the Google: hacking is a kind of competitive horse presentation.) A chronic binger of Netflix, sheâll cross over into free-to-air if it involves anything MasterChef. Lauren also happens to love a cheese platter⊠We donât hire cheese lovers on purpose, they just end up here somehow.

David Coupland
Strategy Director
Alright Harry Potter-heads, youâll want to meet David. He very nearly became Draco Malfoy for the films. He ended up as Tom Feltonâs understudy for the first movie. Ultimately, heâs glad he didnât get the role. (Probably because bleaching your hair for a decade to play a fictional teenage wizard is a big commitment.)
Armed with a philosophy degree, heâs got a head for complex logic and critical argument. We can see how that translated into becoming the head chef at an antipodean club in London after uni. But perhaps that job didnât satisfy the performer in him. Heâs part of an improv group and has performed at Sydney Fringe. Although, in his attempts at stand-up comedy heâs been booed off stage more often than heâs been laughed at. But he makes up for it with his enthusiasm for playing squash, wearing Tevas and drinking Guinness (perhaps not all at once).

Isabelle Coury
Junior Motion Designer & Illustrator
Did you know there are 196 countries in the United Nations? Well, Issy does. And she can recite them by heart in under six minutes (she’s working on reducing that down to five, because, you know, underachiever over here). Issy also has two (metaphorical) stomachs, her main course stomach and her dessert stomach, because her sweet tooth is really something to behold. But it’s not the only sweet thing about her. She’s also a major foreign film aficionado, anything from Iranian dramas to Soviet cinema, both of which, incidentally, are on the UN list.

Shea Bennett
Senior Camera Operator & Editor
Shea (pronounced like shea butter, not shay-ah as Tristan discovered on day one) spent a lot of time in Asia shooting fast cars and luxury brands and joined our team to capture and release killer shots. An avid lover of James Bond books as well as the movies, he enjoys the fast pace and vicariously living a scandalous lifestyle.
Between the hours of 12-2am you’ll probably find Shea with a breakfast burrito in hand, because yolo, he believes you can enjoy a breakfast burrito at any time of the day.

Jenny Lennon
Associate Creative Director
Jenny would like it to be known that although she’s no descendant of the great Lennon himself, she is indeed musically talented (at playing the Rugrats theme tune on piano). Playing piano isn’t the only thing Jenny does expertly. She once lived in a tent for six months backpacking around the world, and now has packing down to a fine art. Which is coincidentally what she chose to study in her career. Art that is â much to the horrified faces of both accounting parents. Luckily she has John Lennon’s royalties to fall back on should things ever go awry.

Natalie Wong
Design Director
Natalie prefers dogs to people. We know this is true because whenever we go out for lunch or drinks we’ll invariably turn around to find that Nat has somehow coaxed a dog into her arms. Luckily she has her own staffy to shower adoration on: his name is Percy â or Percival if he’s being naughty.
Nat travels for food and has had the very distinct pleasure of eating both tarantula and starfish. (She turned down the sheep’s appendage though.) It has been verified that she makes a mean chocolate meringue almond torte.

Becky Gillis
Senior Designer
Becky has two older sisters, 37 cousins and 17 aunts and uncles. Family get togethers must be frantic. And possibly the reason that Becky can eat three times her body weight at twice the advisable speed. This often results in a bout of hiccups so if youâve got a weird hiccup cure weâve got just the person to verify its effectiveness.
Having danced for eleven years she is r-e-a-d-y for any costume party that requires sequins, sparkles and feathers. She has paraglided off the Alps but remains terrified of heights.

Rebecca Odey
Designer
Bec eats popcorn most days. Usually with chocolate. Another intriguing fact is that after working in marketing for five years, she studied graphic design and switched to the dark arts of creative. Bec waved goodbye to the rolling hills of Sweden three years ago to make her dream of living on the beach come true. And now it has. In fact, if you canât find her, sheâs probably on the sand with a book or in a yoga studio.
She claims to be the worldâs slowest eater which makes her a terrible person to share food with. Or a great one, depending on how aggressively you pick off other peopleâs plates?

Lucy Bailey
Senior Finance Manager
Lucy is from a big family and a small town. But if you were alive in Australia in the early naughts, youâll know of this town⊠Lucy is from the âvery exoticâ Shropshire. She originally came to Australia for a six month holiday but that was six years ago and she hasnât made plans to leave. Sheâs worked in waste management, transport and property but after three and a half years in an agency knew that this was the right industry for her. Lucy is most annoyed by slow walkers and loves any meal she doesnât have to cook. Or that comes with a wine. Better make it both.

Linh To
Assistant Accountant
Originally on track to study pharmacy, somewhere along the way Linh fell into finance and never turned back. Sheâs a busy aunt to six (at the time of writing) very young nieces and nephews, so you can imagine the pressure of trying to establish herself as the cool aunt when Christmas shopping. But to truly claim this title, Linh will have to eventually teach them karate since she has a brown belt. A lover of travel and adventure, sheâs spent six months travelling Europe and has briefly lived in a tribal village in the northern jungles of Thailand. Her dream is to swim in the Red Sea.

Jennifer Davis
Senior Producer
Jennifer goes by the moniker âJd” and it must be written with a lowercase “d”, for reasons unknown. This has managed to upset many a spellchecker but life can’t be lived in fear of a squiggly red line. Instead? Jd’s out there living her life with short coffees, a pair of skis and a fluency for science fiction. With a cheeky ten years spent working in broadcast media and advertising, she puts the pro in production â that and she’s one of those weird people who can read a book while walking.

Jacob Hogarth
Camera Operator & Editor
Diagnosing himself as âseverely gingerâ, Jacob believes he would be happiest living underwater. Presumably, to escape the brutality of the Australian sun. Also, he loves the ocean and all the scuba diving it facilitates. His favourite animal is the humpback whale and he can never go back on this claim, because he went and tattooed a whale on himself. He doubles down on his seasonâs greetings by celebrating Chrismukkah each year.

James Horan
Senior Editorial Photographer
Say hello to James, photographer and human database of great places to eat and drink. This makes him useful on far-flung shoots, apart from his ability to take natural, modern images that evoke the personality of his subjects.
Heâs snapped for big brands and big names like, well⊠ever heard of this guy, Barack Obama? Yeah, he sounds vaguely familiar to us too. James loves lifting weights but if heâs not working you’ll likely find him in the ocean.

Rowena Clarke
Photographer
Despite her passion for all thingsâ photography related â Rowena is not a fan of Nickelbackâs âPhotographâ. But then again, nobody is. She does however enjoy The Cureâs âPictures Of Youâ and âHey Man Nice Shotâ by Filter.
Rowenaâs fascination with photography started when she saw her grandfathers wartime photographs of his time riding camels in Egypt â and has gone on to be published by titles such as The New York Home Observer and Cosmopolitan Bride. We often like to ask Rowena to look at our photographsâŠbecause every time we do it makes us laugh
