Nice one Northy!
Fantastic work, mate. A great gig and well deserved.
congrats again mate - have a blast x
Well done. Nice to see some dreams come to fruition. Make sure the Party Monster gets an outing or two.
Well done sir, see you soon!
Nice one Northy but you're stateside now, you've gotta get your job title right - nobody's a mere CD anymore. You have to be a VPCD (Vice President Creative Director) or EGCC (Executive Global Creative Chairman) or GPCC (Grand Poobah Creative Chap). 'CD' is American for Junior. You're welcome... :)
Congrats, Chris. Have a great time.
Congrats Mate!
Well played old friend. Well played.
Nice one Chris - a well deserved promotion - go get 'em mate - and give Churchy a big hug from me too!
Nice one Northo, love your work.
Great news! Congrats!
Good luck in NY mate!
Well deserved, Chris! You've been a great supporter of creativity in Melbourne. We'll miss you.
Good one Chris.
I love the bathing costume.
The time to quench is upon us.
You sexy beast. Lasciviousness goes a long way in the Big Apple. Go and have a big bite of that crunchy, juicy fruit. But don't forget to lick it first...
Awesome. More cougars for the rest of us.
A move like this will 'Challenge Yourself.' You're an 'Accomplished' creative and no doubt you'll ensure 'The Team Works' towards gold!
Congrats Chris. Best of luck.
