Dene Waring
here, I'm a Gold Coast based Kiwi-born Creative Director with years
of strong international consultancy, concept, design and delivery
experience across motion graphics, interactive and print, interpretive
and exhibition display, advertising photography and outdoor advertising
for clients ranging from Coca-Cola to National Parks. The breadth
and depth of my experience in traditional and new media and my lateral
thinking abilities, coupled with my ability to consult directly
with clients, mean I add exceptional value.
As of 2007 I
have been based on Australia's Gold Coast as Creative Director for
V2i, an architectural visualisation firm with an international clientele.
I also manage the multimedia team and develop new business opportunities
for this cutting-edge 3D/video/new-media enterprise. I have a dual
role as Creative Director of 3Dme, a new medical visualisation company.
I arrived in
Brisbane in August 2006 to take on the role of Creative Director
with Genesis Productions for their Yamaha touring exhibitions and
Phillip Island Nobbies interpretive centre projects (recently featured
on TV's "Sunrise" show). My family and I had sailed in
(literally) from Noumea where I had partnered with French ad agency
"Cyclone" to start up their TVC motion graphics studio
"Imag'in" - 20 months of Creative Director and hands on
with After Effects, great fun. While there I won 2005's "Best
New Product Launch" for the South Pacific region with my Nestea
campaign, my creative pitches won the Coca-Cola TVC and outdoor
ad accounts and I single-handedly generated a 33% revenue boost
for the agency's financial year through motion graphics TVC production.
Before that,
as co-founder of The Global Bridge, I'd been on a five-year tour
of the Pacific with my wife and two young sons on board our 70-year-old
wooden ketch "Wayfarer", donating my design services to
humanitarian and environmental agencies in New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji
and New Caledonia and delivering projects to Nepal and Britain.
Prior, I was five years as Founder and Creative Director of the
Interactive and Print design divisions at Taylormade Media, the
guys behind the America's Cup and PGA Golf 3D/GPS TV graphics etc.
Going even further back, I owned and operated advertising photo
and graphics studios in three cities in NZ, after an interesting
start in life in a circus family (no, really).
