ABOUT
Meet Yvonne Hall, ranked within the top ten Art Directors in SA 3 times and also heavily involved in the production of all work produced. And she loves it. She is passionate about her work, advertising (across all media – digital, social, traditional and through the line and below) she’s an addict to the big idea. #gearingup
A true believer, as a creative, looks at the entire process, digs deep into the brand strategy and looks for marketing solutions that understand the consumer and speaks their language. Over the years she’s been in charge of a number of teams, as well as mentoring the millennials or rather them than her at times, but it’s the BIG idea that will guide us where to direct our efforts – intellect and strategy, where creativity collides.
Meet her counterfoil, David Jennions. Done it: from below to above to through and never existed lines, he has his Noddy badge. At JWT:RMG he successfully created the number one white market brand with LG. At Publicis he led the team that took Renault from an also-ran car brand to a top of mind choice, and led the sales in their low priced/high value models with the 360 launch of Sandero. He studied three years of civil engineering, a year in architecture and a postgrad in Brand Management, then swapped over to the creative side
He loves working with smarter people than himself, only to find out if he’s as smart as them. If not, kudos to that lad/lady and follows their lead. But the challenge has always been to never be outshone. And the light is still bright.
As an award winning team, they’ve been working together for the past 10 years, across numerous agencies and on three continents. From working on the biggest pitch in Singapore for TBWA on Singapore Airlines, to the biggest telecom brand in East Africa, Airtel. A short little history of their agency experiences together: Grey, Leo Burnett, McCann Barcelona, TBWA Singapore, Mullen Lowe Singapore, King James South Africa, Ogilvy Durban, Ogilvy Nairobi, Grey New York Health, Saatchi & Saatchi and the list continues.
As a creative team neither one takes ownership of image, execution or words… a true collaboration of the “T” in team and both own their work whether copy, concept or execution. Shared values and shared mind space. With a wealth of experience across a plethora of brands they’ve done it: from financial, to car, peanut butter to iced-tea and everything in between.
