My name is Josh Brown.
I'm an award-winning senior art-based creative; making ads big & small, weird & wonderful.
Combining interesting ideas with a deep love of craft in both design and copy, I turn business problems into opportunities for brands to grow, connect and change behaviours in a way that their audiences love too.
So far that's meant creating a cult of moustachioed men to improve global health standards, posting bread internationally to homesick customers, convening with a coven of witches to help jaded exes get revenge, creating a way to win Fortnite with kind words to reduce toxicity in gaming and designing a tabletop game to foster healthy conversations in young relationships (to mention a few faves).
I've worked on some of the world's most recognisable and valuable brands including Movember, McDonald's, Porsche, Dulux, Coles & New Balance; a range of FMCG, auto and behaviour change clients; and both global and local not-for-profits and charities.
Currently making ads at McCann New Zealand.
