AFTER 10 YEARS AT AIM, MURPHY TAKES ASSOCIATE CD GIG AT RAPP COLLINS
Award-winning Pat Murphy today joins Rapp Collins as Associate Creative Director, after 10 years at AIM Proximity.
Murphy, recognised for creating the world’s most awarded DM campaign (Body Parts), along with numerous other highly awarded campaigns, takes up a newly created role within an expanding creative team at Rapp Collins.
Rapp Collins Executive Creative Director Wayne Pick describes the move as a real coup: “Without doubt, Pat is one of the top creatives in New Zealand. Actually, he’s pretty much No.1 in the world according to the Big Won ranking of DM campaigns. He’s a great thinker and fantastic craftsman who brings a huge amount of experience and expertise to our brands.
“He’s always been on my creative ‘dream team’ list and I’m absolutely chuffed that he’s made the move to join us at such an important time in our growth. I know he’ll continue to push the boundaries – with really innovative work and funky floral shirts.”
Murphy has a stellar clutch of awards under his belt, including Cannes Gold, Caples Gold, RSVP Grand Prix, RSVP Best Art Direction and plenty more.
His client work includes Air New Zealand, BNZ, BMW, Mini, The Christchurch Press, Westpac, Yellow Pages and Vodafone.
Murphy commented: “It’s an exciting time to be in the direct and interactive space – innovations in data and technology are constantly opening up new ways to communicate with people. I’m looking forward to a new environment and am keen to get stuck into fresh challenges at Rapp Collins across a range of marketing disciplines from direct and digital to mainstream and experiential.”

Awesome news.
All the best Pat – you’re certainly part of a dream team there.
And it’s great that you’re closer to the decent pubs now.
Have fun.
Nice guy…gone to bad agency…won’t be long before he will leave to team up with Shazza
9:18 – I thought the dream team was at the ’92 Olympics? I forgot, this is advertising.
Henderson, Catmur Barnes. Heard it here first.
dm’s a dinosaur. what has rapp done in terms of interactive?
“Dream Team”? There’s a phrase straight out of advertising in the 80’s. Suits DDB nicely.
Beware of the gnome.
Congratulations Patty-boy and good score Wayne and Kim – I’m looking forward to seeing more stunning work in the near future.
All the best,
Ben
And to all the people who were too cowardly to sign their comments, it’s sad to see so many bitter, closed minds in the local industry. Maybe you should get out a bit more.
