Andy Blood is originally from the UK where he spent time at start up Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe, before he followed his heart over to New Zealand. In Auckland he worked at the highest creative level at Saatchis Auckland, Whybin TBWA, and Colenso BBDO doing some amazing work gathering three Cannes Grand Prix in the process.
Unlike me, Andy is irrepressibly enthusiastic about almost everything, and he also mentions NFTs a couple of times so that should get us the cashed-up hipsters audience – he’s a great guy, with a lot of insights about the business, so have a listen.

Episode 20. Damon Stapleton 2021
In the middle of the Auckland lockdown I talk to the incoming Monkey’s New Zealand creative chief about leaving DDB after many years; what you actually do when you’re on gardening leave, and whether you should have a bath before or after talking to your gynecologist. Oh, and the future of advertising, where technology will take the industry, and whether it’s a good job for your kids to do.

Episode 19. Jason Paris
Jason is currently CEO of Vodafone New Zealand, but don’t be put off by that corporate sounding title as he’s anything but. He’s also worked in advertising in London which doubly qualifies him for a listen.
Jason shared some great insights including his views on advertising and ad agencies. He talks about the great mentors he has had over the years and his journey from being a sports obsessed work-shy schoolboy in Invercargill, via a marketing background to some big roles in both New Zealand and the UK.
There are some great tips for those starting out in business and we also have a natter about his favourite sporting moment, which coincidentally was also mine.
Jason Paris. Ridiculous over achiever.
