Freelance creative services?
Meet Paul!
Thanks for visiting my site. I’m a strategically-focused freelance creative, based on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia. I love the Coast, not just because of the lifestyle, but it puts me right in the middle of two major cities, Sydney and Newcastle where I do the bulk of my work.
I’ve spent over 15 years working in large advertising agencies in Sydney – Singleton Ogilvy and Mather, OgilvyOne and Saatchi&Saatchi to name a couple but for the last few years, I’ve been going it on my own, as a freelance creative, working from my home office, direct with clients and brands and in-house advertising agency stints.
Direct Marketing was my first passion, so I believe that work needs to be effective, not just creative and it must accomplish business objectives while upholding brand values. Brands also need to tell a story or some sort of narrative that explains who they are. There’s far too many these days that don’t do it well or don’t even do it at all.
I’ve worked across quite a few sectors including financial services, IT, FMCG, retail, mining, real estate on brands such as David Jones, American Express, BHP, Telstra, IBM, Lenovo, LJ Hooker, BHP, Unilever, Bankwest and Nestlé + loads more.

Photography
Shooting has always been a passion of mine, so I’m set-up to handle smaller studio and location work that otherwise wouldn’t fit into a reduced budget. I’m a keen sports photography and shoot loads of rugby league for teams such as the Sydney Roosters, Canterbury Bulldogs, Wests Tigers, Newcastle Knights and the St George Dragons and the Wyong Roos.
