RAPP Tribal Auckland hires award-winning deputy creative directors Reid and Anderson
Award winning creative duo David Reid (far left) and Steve Anderson (left) has been lured to RAPP Tribal as deputy creative directors, working under CD Aaron Goldring, providing creative direct and digital leadership across RAPP Tribal and DDB Group clients.
The pair are the first major creative hires to the RAPP Tribal team, following the business merger in August this year.
They enter RAPP Tribal following an impressive history in New Zealand and overseas, having worked at Saatchi & Saatchi Johannesburg, Aim Proximity and Saatchi & Saatchi NZ.
The pair’s creative talent has been recognised through a raft of international and local awards including The One Show, Caples, ECHOS, Andys, Cannes, London international and a Grand Prix at New York Festivals.
Goldring says its the duo’s depth of experience in the industry that makes them a powerful hire: “Dave and Steve have produced some seriously inspiring work; their ‘Go Girls Virginity Map’ is one of my favourite digital campaigns this year: “We’re delighted that they’re coming on board as they have a passion for great work and will be a perfect fit for the RAPP Tribal creative department.”
The pair will be working across all RAPP Tribal clients including Telecom, Yellow, ANZ, McDonald’s, Cadbury and Sky TV.

Congrats guys.
Good work geezers.
Well done guys! Big ups.
Yet another long stint at Saatchi NZ then.
Steve’s been working out! Grrrr.
Fantastic news – you guys have extraordinary talent, can’t wait to see what lies ahead.
Don’t think S&S realise what they lost…
nice action, welcome to the tribe – you boys tracked down the missing go girls balloon’s yet?
A bit of genius, a bit of magic. Very good, very interesting, three cheers for Steve and Dave. Very good, very good.
Excellent guys, you’re looking ready to take on the world!
Dave you’re stylin!
Kick ass lads.
Stunning and quite awesome
First the poms now the safricans…
Steve, the NZ Army called and asked for their “guns” back. Boom.
This is my speculation on how the speech about this recent departure would have gone at Saatchis:
Guys, this year has all been about change. Recently, or client, NZ Post, put their business up for pitch. I look forward to re-pitching their business and showing them our talents. Sure, clients like certainty, and we will soon be providing that certainty. Very soon we’ll be announcing our new (probably pommy CD who likes making filums), he’s a great guy that likes to talk, and talk, and talk. And talk.
I wish these guys well at RAPP. But please, do not tell our clients. If they ask about them tell them that they’re on holiday.
That’s all. 2011 – hit me up!
What did they do at saatchi? Cost too much?
@8:10 What has anyone done at Saatchis? Not much.
Goldring is surrounded by some good people. He’s going to do some good things…
Not sure what they have done recently at S&S… not a big loss
Congratulations Stephen Well done I know your parents are very proud of you.
@ 8:24 what have you done at Saatchis that’s so amazing?
@ 8:24 They did the Army game which is probably one of the better pieces of work to come out of Saatchis
Nice one chaps, you’ll do well.
oh. armies are hard.
What seems to be hard is your use of the English language.
So, 6.26, same speculative speech, again. You’ve given S&S quite a hammering lately, haven’t you? Are you proud of yourself? Feel better now? Did anyone there, past or present, hurt you? Or are you just that sad and untalented?
Can we all just move on and give the new guys there a bit of go? Fresh start for the new year and all.
This is my speculation about what will be said at Saatchis regarding putting comments on the blog that are from Saatchi people: You are very naughty. I could talk about how naughty it is for a very long time, but I think you should all ignore the blog and do better work. Stop ripping off other ideas and dressing them up as your own, stop making 90 second ads that are really quite shite, stop being angry, and bring this agency back to the almost top. We can’t afford to lose too many more people. Well, actually we could – it’d help with the numbers. Very soon we’ll be announcing our new (probably pommy CD who likes making filums), he’s a great guy that likes to talk, and talk, and talk. And talk. Wow – 2011! Hit me up!
1.41 – gEt. Fukt.
@ 8:21 Point proven. Retard suit.
Wow who’s jealous retards leaving comments, someones obviously jealous of Stephen and Daves good work, well done guys the awards speak for themselves!!!!
I never heard of these two guys. I have to say though everyone else has going by these comments.
Did Goldfinger pay staff to get on and suck it up?
Why don’t RAPP put out a release about the lady in HR or the mac Operator who just worked to midday night kerning a lotto headline? Or one on Paul in finance.
What next RAPP hires a coffee machine that makes real coffee.
….and who are you Mr Important?
Great piece of internal communication work by RAPP. Well done. Love it. Best online campaign this year. Yea what about the lady in HR? She be more creative than all of them put together at RAPP.
