About Oliver
Oliver began his career as a copywriter at Saatchi & Saatchi after being named national student of the year at AWARD School. He has worked at agencies around the world for creative directors including Bob Isherwood, Dave Droga, and David Abbott, returning to Sydney to work for Tom MacFarlane at M&C Saatchi. Here he partnered with art director Graham Johnson, where, for a while, they were ranked the most awarded creative team working in Australia by Campaign Brief.
