CAANZ invites you to the

2006 CAANZ Creative Function

Justin Tindall from DDB London and international chairman of judges for the 2006 CAANZ AXIS Awards is guest speaker at this year’s creative function being held on Wednesday 10th May.

Justin graduated from Goldsmiths College London in 1989 with a degree in

fine art and a passion for ideas. A friend told him about a job in advertising

where you got paid loads of money to sit around coming up with ideas. Two

years (and a lot of layout pads) later he got his first job at a very small London

agency on a very small London salary, the then (and still) unknown SMI

advertising. Four years at SMI was followed by three years at FCA where his

work for The Wales Tourist Board caught the eye of DDB London (then BMP

DDB) an agency he had long admired. Five years on he is now a Creative

Director and the agency’s Head of Art. He has won awards at all the major

festivals, most notably, Golds at Cannes, The One Show, The Clios (including

two Grand Clios) and D&AD for work on Harvey Nichols, Lurpak, The

Guardian Newspaper, The Wales Tourist Board and Volkswagen.

His talk entitled, ‘Notes from a Ten Hour Drinking Session’ will be held at OPIUM on Queen St, Auckland, 6.30pm.
