It’s nice to meet you.
You’re here.
Which means you need a creative team
and someone mentioned our names (very kind of them).
We’re two good-hearted and hard-working blokes who’ve
worked for some great ad agencies, and won some nice awards.
We’ve done some big campaigns for big clients.
And loads of work for the biggest client on Earth: Earth.
After more than three years on contract to The Monkeys we’ll soon be available
for new full-time or freelance opportunities in Melbourne.
Jono Aidney (Senior Copywriter)
Jono has a New Zealand accent. He likes tight copy, funny scripts and noisy music about feelings. He’s passionate about the strategic side of advertising, but feels lucky to spend most of his time on the “making stuff” side of advertising.
Gabe Woodmansey (Senior Art Director)
Above all else, Gabe still relishes the pursuit of that idea no-one's ever thought of before. After escaping country Victoria, it was ad agencies where Gabe found his calling, drawn to the constant conceptual challenges and the endless possibilities of ideas.
