Ex Saatchi & Saatchi London creative Julian Andrews to Shine as deputy creative director

After recent business wins Speight’s, Freeview and Stuff.co.nz. Auckland indy agency Shine has appointed former Saatchi’s London creative Julian Andrews to the post of deputy creative director.

Andrews, who will report to founding ECD Lucien Law, has been working full time at Shine since May, after a stint of freelancing following his arrival in NZ last October.

Prior to that Andrews was senior writer and a creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi, London. In his last year there he was CD on the Labour Party’s general election campaign, helped win the Diesel account, and made the video for Katy Perry’s song ‘Firework’ as part of T-Mobile’s hugely popular ‘Life’s for sharing’ campaign, which he co-created. The video won Video of the Year on August 31 at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles and to date been viewed over 234 million times on YouTube.

As well as being one of only two creatives in the world to have a VMA Video of the Year award (the other being his old partner), Andrews has also judged and been awarded at D&AD, Cannes, and Campaign Big awards, was a Campaign Face to Watch, and most recently came second in a sausage competition. He also has a couple of things shortlisted in the Best Awards this year.
