The agency has also been crowned Australian agency of the year at ADC, AdNews Australia, B&T and Mumbrella.
White leads the team to create work that redefines advertising, focusing on owning the entire customer experience – as seen in their recent work for Virgin Velocity’s Billion Point Giveaway, Cochlear’s Hearing Test in Disguise, Swann Inconvenience Stores and Carsales Auto-Ads. White motivates his team and clients to rethink the mould to create work that connects with customers on a one-to-one level.
