Josh Lancaster and Jamie Hitchcock

In late 2009 Josh Lancaster and Jamie Hitchcock started their own creatively lead, unashamedly kiwi, independent agency called... Josh & Jamie. They figured that people called them by their first names anyway and noted they they hadn’t been called their last names since they got caned at school.

For over 11 years, they’ve worked together on some of New Zealand’s most iconic brands including Fly Buys, ACC, Road Safety (NZTA), L&P, Steinlager, Lion Red, AA, Air New Zealand, Tip Top, Global Plus, Fisher & Paykel, Mainland and Kapiti Cheese picking up over 100 creative and effectiveness awards, along the way.

When he’s not coming up with ideas, Josh loves fly-fishing and painting landscapes, as well as hanging out with his kid whose recent scribbles on the wall demonstrated that artistic talent runs deep in the family.

With two kids just 14 months apart, Jamie recently decided to start his midlife crisis early and bought a motorbike which, as he explained to his wife was cheaper than a Porsche.
