Hi, we’re Matt and Freddie, Creative Directors and creative boyfriends since 2009. We’re currently celebrating our ‘Ivory Anniversary,’ so please send any and all gifts of ivory, or other, to: DDB Aotearoa, Level 4, 119 Great North Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand. Thank you. 

 

A few highlights from the last 14 wonderful years include:

​

• About our work, David Letterman famously once said, “I love this as life itself, ladies and gentlemen.” True story.
  We replay this clip daily.

• We once got the lead anchor on BBC Asia to say ‘balls’ 11 times in a segment.

• Over the last decade, we’ve been ranked second best on the BestAds world rankings, beaten only by Mother (who isn’t actually a person, or a mother).

• One time, Big Won said we were 7th best art director and copywriter globally, with three top twenty campaigns.
  It’s been all downhill from there.

• We’ve won yellow pencils, gold lions, a plastic OTTL (Ogilvy Table Tennis League). All the biggies. 

• Once we tutored at AWARD School and did such a great job, some of the students are smarter than us.

And that's what 14 years of loving, working relationship looks like.
