Toby Talbot, Group Executive Creative Director of DDB New Zealand

Toby Talbot has been Group Executive Creative Director at DDB New Zealand since February 2007. After training at Chelsea  School of Art in London, he accidently fell into advertising in the early 90's. Bored and disillusioned with the UK industry, he moved to NZ in 1996 with his young family and hasn't looked back.

Although proud of the six Agency of the Year accolades he's won locally in the past ten years, Toby's personal highlights are two Golds, Silver and six Bronze Cannes Lions, a Gold Pencil at One Show, a Silver Nomination at D&AD and topping the agency list on BestAdsOnTV.com

In the Campaign Brief Australasian Rankings, Toby is ranked No.3 Creative Director in the region. He has judged many award shows, including Cannes, AWARD, D&AD, Clio, New York Festivals, Adfest and Spikes.
