Profile of Friends with Things

I’m a senior planner and strategist for Sydney based advertising agencies. I’ve worked on everything from Nike, Gatorade, Virgin, Mercedes Benz, Tourism Australia, and the Canadian Tourism Commission to Volkswagen, McDonalds, Dell, Intel, News Corporation and Sony. I’ve also held senior positions at agencies including Clemmenger BBDO, Sapient Nitro, Leo Burnett, FCB, The Clemenger Group, Ogilvy and Mather, Wunderman, One Digital and John Singleton Advertising. I was also a former Head of Copy and Content for Euro RSCG Digital and Head of Digital at Topia. I’ve started something called Friends with Things – www.friendswiththings.com - it’s is a place where you can share things with, or borrow things from your neighbours for free – from bicycles to power tools, from cameras to sewing machines. So it’s about collaborative consumption and sustainability – but there’s more to it than just helping the environment. At Friends with Things you’re also welcome to share your time, skills and expertise with the community – you can even share your local knowledge or connect with local people who share common interests.
