Welcome! I’m Andrew Bamford, I’d describe myself as a mix between an art director and a creative strategist. My goal has always been to create simple, fresh, and interesting ideas that people would actually want see and talk about. I have a knack for asking key questions in order to find core insights revealing brand “truths”. By blending creativity with strategy, I deliver marketing that cuts through the noise and drives real results, bringing genuine value to clients

Experience

  • Throughout my career, I've had the chance to work at prestigious agencies including Ogilvy (New Zealand) and Val_Tech (Sweden). I've worked in a variety of roles, progressing from designer and motion designer to film director, art director, and finally creative director. I strive to create ideas that are bold, sleek, modern, and utilise intelligent storytelling techniques to evoke a wide range of emotions.

  • Effectively communicating a brand's message which resonates takes deep thought, empathy and insightfulness. Insight is the key to any powerful idea and is the essence to my creative ideas. Finding this insight is my strategy. Of course there is much more involved ..

  • Formally trained as a graphic designer at Auckland University of Technology (New Zealand) graduating in 2008. My approach to solving visual challenges is rooted in pragmatic design thinking. I firmly believe that design is the cornerstone of all aesthetic outcomes, regardless of whether it's for a video campaign or web design. It's essential to establish a logical path from the initial challenge to the final result.
