His work has been parodied on the Jimmy Kimmel show, praised by Snoop Dog and showcased around the world in multiple Google case studies as best in class advertising.
He has worked in the US and Australia (but prefers the coffee and consistent surf of his home break on Sydney’s northern beaches).
Beyond winning the inaugural Mobile Grand Prix at Cannes, his work has won hundreds of accolades and honours, garnering recognition from every major creative and effectiveness award show (Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Clios, The Andy Awards, New York Festivals, The Webbys, Spikes Asia, Young Guns, Effies), as well as some friends, his Mum and Dad, his wife and some fairly random but obviously kind people on Twitter.
Outside of advertising, Ben regularly lectures at Miami Ad School and AWARD School. He also has three small children, one wife and very little personal time.
