As Art Buyer, I was in charge of sourcing, commissioning, and producing still advertisements at The Monkeys, including photography, illustration, 3D and retouching. I worked closely with the creative department on finding artists that can execute the desired art direction within the budget. I managed production timings, approvals/feedback with the creative teams, and maintained a high level of quality of work through to delivery for final despatch to the print production department. I also worked doing photography and retouching within the agency for large client projects as well as internal work (case studies, PR photos, award entries, etc).In addition to the Art Buying, responsibilities as Creative Curator included organizing bi-weekly high profile speakers to come into the agency to discuss their work, and filming the presentation for the website. I helped to maintain the company blog (monkeybarrel.com.au) by searching for and adding new, inspiring, on-trend work. Weekly emails also sent to the creative department with additional work found, and assisted them with searches for reference material for concepting and pitches.For examples of my Art Buying work at The Monkeys, click on the portfolio link in my profile header.

At Amnesia Razorfish, I managed BlackBerry's APAC websites (.com and mobile) with a development team overseas in order to coordinate site builds for product launches, local promotions, and site maintenance. I ensured high quality of work, working to guide local markets with their designs so that they met brand guidelines before being sent for development, managed a local design team for APAC assets, as well as worked with BlackBerry's global developers to update APAC sites with globally developed assets. As a client-facing producer, I was responsible for each project from briefing through to delivery.Also managed APAC campaign web design, flash banner production, and project work with other Amnesia Razorfish clients such as BT and Victor Churchill.

At the small agency, my role varied heavily day-to-day to fit the needs of a growing business. I primarily managed production ranging across all media (print, digital, TV and radio), as well as graphic design, photography, video (agency case studies, BTS for clients), retouching, internal trafficking, social media strategy, and client management.
