ABOUT JORDAN.
Jordan is an award-winning Executive Creative Director and copywriter with more than 25 years’ experience creating ideas that get noticed, and get results.
Over 12 years at Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand, including the last three as Executive Creative Director, he led creative work and teams across some of the country’s most recognised brands, including Toyota, Lexus, Westpac, Chorus and Z Energy.
Jordan cut his teeth on retail and quickly made a name for himself as someone who could bring together big brand thinking and creative work that motivates a response. He has led some of New Zealand’s most demanding, fast-moving accounts and is equally at home building an enduring brand platform, writing a television script or creating an idea designed to live in culture.
Before joining Saatchi & Saatchi, he led and grew DDB Aotearoa’s retail offering while also serving as Creative Director on the trans-Tasman McDonald’s account. Prior to that, he worked at FCB New Zealand, Saatchi & Saatchi (yes, that makes twice), Y&R and Ogilvy.
Across his career, Jordan has worked in almost every category imaginable, including banking, telecommunications, automotive, government, FMCG, tourism, pharmaceuticals and QSR. His work has been awarded at major local and international shows, but he remains most interested in ideas that work in the real world.
Over the years, Jordan has asked more people to pick up a phone, go online, head in-store, book now, register to vote, take a test drive, text to donate and hurry in before they’re gone than most creative departments combined.
