"...a rare combination of superb creative spark combined with a strong client-focused, can-do attitude. A powerful resource, Dave has sprinkled his creative magic dust on many a brief and transformed the work from "on brief" to having a certain, undeniable wow.
An invaluable attribute of working with Dave is his uncanny ability to land on the right creative idea - practically first time, every time.
Finally, his can-do attitude ensures that the impossible really can be achieved - and always on budget - because his people skills ensure he never forgets that the client is (usually) always right."

"...The best productions I’ve worked on, are where the creatives and producers gel. Dave was most accommodating, quietly encouraged and supported us in achieving our (combined) goal. And he’s also a lot of fun... which is why we get out of bed each day after all."
Treza Gallogly,
Executive Producer,
The New Zealand Film Connection.
"...rare today to meet somebody like Dave Kelly. A great listener, who embroils himself in the Clients world to fully understand the question at the heart of the project. Empathetic, Passionate and Insightful, Dave has the ability to unlock the nugget that leads to the creation of meaningful and effective communication. Dave has always enhanced and added value to the projects we have been involved in."
Lesley Sweeney,
Senior Marketing Manager,
Cuisine de France.
"...creative talent and attention to detail is second to none and their ability to stay calm whilst working under tight deadlines cannot go unmentioned."

"...In an industry which has become overly corporate and drained of unique value-add, David still operates with the same level of enthusiasm, energy and most importantly provides unique insights and ideas to make the difference with all his projects. "

Well conceived advertising is a most potent weapon. A powerful, persuasive, legal means of gaining unfair advantage. It is completely capable of transforming a company's business. You gotta love it.
But no amount of money, great production plans, brilliant directors or new corporate colours will save a weak idea from becoming a weak ad.
Big ideas, not big budgets, create big ads. Great ideas create great ads.
Working either within an agency team, or with a team that we have put together, developing bigger, greater ideas is what we are all about.
We all know that the first response to any stimulus is an emotional one. Doesn't it make sense that if your advertising reaches that brain thing in a fresh and memorable way, you have a better chance of being remembered fondly where it counts most?
Of course it does.
When the idea is "cracked", the ad has to breathe. We have excellent relationships with some of the best writers, design teams, production teams and facility houses in Europe, allowing us to ensure that a project is finished to a standard we expect. And is the best that it can be.
