ABOUT US

After twenty-five years of leading Creative, PR & Digital businesses, Andrew along with his DO Co-Founder Tom Ormes decided it was time they used their experience and expertise to only benefit the clients they work for, rather than the network agencies they were previously employed by. Andrew has led teams across most categories from global FMCG, Tech Companies, Airlines, Automotive and Government Departments. Before DO, Andrew was with Y&R Group ANZ as Group Managing Director of GPY&R, VML & IdeaWorks. Andrew has worked extensively throughout Asia and Australia, leading agencies, teams and senior client relationships. Answers to Sharkie (or Bruce from Finding Nemo).

Tom has been working in the creative advertising industry for a loooong twenty-five years. In that time, he has lived and worked in Sydney, India, Dubai, Colombo, Singapore, New York and Amsterdam, and remembers at least 85% of it. Tom has led creative teams in most of those markets and has specialised in behavioural change campaigns across all disciplines. He has won awards at all major advertising shows, and together with Andrew Dowling founded DO. in 2016. It has been a series of highs, lows and a lot in-between ever since, just like his favourite team, the Houston Rockets.

With over twelve years of design and advertising experience, if there even is a line, Brad has worked above, below, on and through it.

Since landing an internship at Leo Burnett Singapore, Brad has worked as an Art Director in both South Africa and Australia scooping up numerous awards and compliments for his variety of hairstyles along the way. But it’s not only Art Direction that Brad is passionate about, but his illustration skills have also seen his work featured in publications near and far.
