Contrary to Mr Attenborough, the great migration isn’t limited to the wildebeest over the sandy plane or the leatherback turtles through the Pacific. It’s recently been observed in the behaviour of the Australian creative. More specifically, 2 of them.
G’day 👋
We’re Billie and Tom, a creative duo who have cut our career teeth working in PR, digital, fashion, and design. We like making ads. We love making things that get people talking.
Over the years we’ve been lucky enough to work with, and make work for, all kinds of clients. From banks and beer, to bagels, betting, even Australia itself. We’ve been luckier still to pick up some shiny things along the way, drop in to Cannes, be flown to Berlin, and work with some of the industry's icons.
Our two halves come together to make a duo craving creative, impactful, crafted work that’s not just thoughtful, but effective.
Well, our emails are just here.
So where the bloody hell are ‘ya?

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Billie is top creative talent. I loved pulling through her skill sets from her career in PR and saw it truly shine in social and digital. She's great culturally, brilliant in a pitch (can present) and elegantly ambitious. I'd love to work with her again because she cares and has great taste.”
— Cam Blackley, Chief Creative Officer at-large
“Tom is an unusually dialled-in creative presence. He sees every brief in its larger frame, stays grounded and true to the human experience of the work, and follows his cultural instincts in such compelling ways. In an industry that can tend towards repeating and echoing itself, Tom finds fresh clarity and interest more often than most. And he is an absolute pleasure to communicate and collaborate with (you'll see), with his knack for bringing people into an idea, making them part of it, and keeping the vibe generous and joyful, no matter what.”
— Joe Hill, ECD AKQA Melbourne
“Weird ideas, clever strategic thinking, and excellent copywriting.”
— Cale Berry, Creative at Goodby Silverstein & Partners
“Tom puts the Oh! in team. Not only does he play nicely with others – bouncing ideas, taking onboard advice, pushing the work – but he adds to the culture of the agency with wit, charm, and thoughtful fun. Plus he’s a bloody good copywriter to boot.”
— Shannon Crowe, CD Thinkerbell
“I’ve worked with so many creatives around the world and I can tell you Billie is one of the very good ones - her recent award of creative top 10 in B&Ts ‘30 under 30' underlines my point. Billie has an unbelievable grasp of creative currency and amongst many other abilities, can make the cultural frontline of high end fashion make sense against a strategic creative idea. On top of all her ability (beyond her years) she is truly great to deal with from a business to business and interpersonal point of view. I genuinely hope we can continue to work with Billie in the years to come.”
— Michael Ritchie, Managing Director, Revolver
“A CMO writing a reference for a Creative? That’s a bit rare. But so is Billie. You’ll know, when you meet her.
Billie is a brilliant creative with an eye for detail. She sees the bigger picture and works collaboratively to bring our creative ambitions to life – effortlessly.”
— Yash Gandhi, Chief Marketing Officer, Baiada.
“Billie is brilliant. A truly modern creative. A super talented Art Director who started in fashion, added PR and experiential to her bag of tricks then topped it up with her last few years of brand and social in adland. She's an absolute pleasure to work with; smart, on the pulse and has awesome energy. She's also one of my faves to chat fashion/beauty/tiktok trends with over a negroni at the pub.”
