- Member since 2015
With 18 years experience across three continents, Seamus is currently VP Chief Creative Officer, APAC at R/GA.
His passion for bringing out the best in his team and agency, has helped drive a creative resurgence that saw them win 2018 Agency of the Year at Spikes Asia and the Australian AWARD Awards, as well as ranked no.1 in Australia, and no.7 globally in the Cannes Lions 2018 Global Creativity Report. Most recently, they picked up LIA’s Agency of the Year for Australia and New Zealand.
Along the way he has created and lead campaigns that have picked up ten D&AD pencils, including two black pencils, and three Cannes Lions Grand Prix, including Titanium.
Seamus believes that as a creative industry, we have a responsibility to use our powers to help create a better future for the generations that follow us. Most notably, he lead the Palau Pledge project, which was awarded the inaugural Cannes Lions Sustainable Development Goals Grand Prix, and was honoured with the ‘Champion of Humanity’ Award by the UN General Assembly.
Seamus’ inspiration lies in bringing to life ideas that have the power to change things, and over the years he’s developed an unhealthy obsession with the craft of their delivery.
Since 2009 Seamus has won over 100 awards at all major shows.
