About Jim Ritchie

When it comes to solving the business and brand challenges of my clients I believe unequivocally in client+us, one team with a shared agenda. That's why in August 2019 I stepped out of the advertising industry and its big agencies, and founded US+US, a Melbourne-based creative company that unites Brand+Design+Advertising. With insight, intellect and instinct we create damn good brands that matter more. Side-by-side. No them and us.

  • Us+Us
    Strategy Director + Partner
    Us+Us Aug 2019 - Present
    Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
    No buzzwords, no agendas, no egos, no office politics, no arbitrary Steve Jobs quotes. 
At US+US we feel like the world of work could work better — particularly, the advertising and marketing industry. We don’t subscribe to the entrenched ‘ideas-whatever-the-cost’ approach to communication, because it only leads to burnout and disillusionment. We believe in fostering a creative and collaborative working culture that’s positively different from the inside out; an inclusive culture where it’s ‘safe' to voice half-finished thoughts, ask questions from left-field, brain-fart out loud, admit and own mistakes, and think outside your patch. Because great work — creative and compelling work that solves business problems — starts with the environment in which it happens.

    Interim Cmo
    Judo Bank Feb 2020 - Oct 2020
    Melbourne
    As part of US+US' engagement with Judo Bank, I took on the CMO role to allow the Judo Management Board time to find their perfect candidate. The role afforded me valuable insight and understanding of 'client-side' marketing, with the added bonus of working alongside a very talented and passionate Judo team. A thoroughly rewarding and professionally enriching experience.
