ANDREW NEWLAND JOINS TOYBOX

Andrew Newland has joined Toybox as Animation Director and Head of Design. Newland spent the past six years at Flux Animation where he has worked on leading campaigns that included Sanitarium Wholegrain for Ogilvy, Freedom Air for Colenso BBDO, McDonalds for Luscious Films Sydney, plus a few award winners that included the Cannes winning Dominate Hair for Colenso BBDO and the Silver Axis winning Anchor Welcome to Anchorville.

Newland directed and animated the polar bear scene in the 2007 Oscar Best Documentary Winner An Inconvenient Truth. Says Newland: “It was one of those rare chances that presented itself and something I’m very proud to have been involved in.”

Newland says he is very excited to be joining the Toybox team on the back of their recent work for the Axis Finalist Auckland City Mission Campaign and the latest TVC for Global Plus through Colenso BBDO. “Toybox has been doing some great work of late and I think it’s a great opportunity for me to get involved and continue making some great TVC’s.”
