Chief Swashbuckler

Out Of This World

Sputnik is an internationally awarded Creative Director with more decades experience than they'd like to admit. They've worked in Adelaide, Melbourne and Cambodia on brands including Caltex, Tourism Australia, The Simpsons, Menz FruChocs & Violet Crumble, Mercedes-Benz, Unilever, Billy Hyde Music, Melbourne Water and a bunch of others you've probably never heard of. Sputnik is a recipient of the Adelaide Advertising and Design Club President's Award for contribution to the industry, has written a few (a bit crap) books, is a regular guest on ABC Radio, thinks advertising is for lazy marketers, and that AI is amazing but also the devil's work.
