About — Kirsty and Darryl

Hi, I’m Kirsty… and I’m Darryl!

Kirsty and Darryl are currently working at Ogilvy London. Before relocating to the UK, they worked at one of Australasia’s top agencies, DDB New Zealand. They’ve created campaigns for heaps of global brands, including Samsung, ŠKODA, Johnnie Walker, Vodafone and McDonald’s.

Together they won the 2024 Cannes Young Lions UK Competition for Print and were shortlisted as one of the top six teams in the global print competition at Cannes.

Kirsty took part in the creative advertising competition Young Glory, placing second in the world overall. Whilst at DDB, she was selected to join Project Ivy, a programme for empowering the female leaders of tomorrow.

Darryl has four university degrees and a background in film, theatre and design, only to end up in advertising after receiving a targeted Facebook ad for it. He has designed sets for the theatre and operas, and written a musical for puppets made from trash.
