A native Kiwi, Rob kicked off his Art Direction career at DDB Auckland in 2005. It was there he cut his teeth, hoarded awards and traded in that Junior title in for a Senior one at Leo Burnett Melbourne in 2012. Flash forward six years and he’s moved half a world away, now an ACD at Leo Burnett Chicago, where he currently works. Some of Rob’s favorite produced work includes a campaign that transformed Wing Stop fans into walking billboards with out-of-home ads printed on hoodies and more. Additionally, Rob’s "Clone Machine" campaign for Coors Light holds a warm place in his heart. That work generated a billion earned impressions by enabling people to create digital doppelgangers that could stand in for them during video conference calls.
