My name is Josh Brown.
I'm an awarded senior creative. I make ads big and small, weird and wonderful.
I’ve created a cult of moustachioed men; conferred with a coven of witches; invented a way to win Fortnite with words; built a table that spanned the country and saved people from the COVID creatures they had become.
I’ve wrangled butterflies; shot with a war photographer; spared people the humiliation of jogging around stores in new shoes and painted a house with drum kit. Made a fake news detector; a Halloween trick protector; helped get legislation passed in NZ and once I used a gender reveal party to convince the country that kids are terrible for the planet.
Currently making ads at DDB Aotearoa.
