About


Some things about me...
I'm a professional Art Director / Amateur Human. 
Advertising has been particularly kind to me along the way I've launched an innovative charity campaign for the Australian Volunteer Coastguard, developed a one-of-a-kind therapeutic tool for families of Missing Persons, Stood in an actual sumo ring with professional sumo wrestlers in Tokyo and even made Sir Richard Branson himself 'LOL' while presenting at C2-MTL in Montreal.
Wild rides.
I'm a simple guy who lives for simple, well-crafted ideas. If this sounds like someone who would suit your business or project then I'd love to chat.

"Kieran is a wonderful creative talent. Melbourne is a small town, and Kieran has some big skills"
— Paul Reardon, CCO, TBWA Melbourne

"I worked with Kieran for around 3 years, and he was in fact my first hire as a CD. Right from the beginning he showed a real strength across digital and social story telling, and a speed of working that was instantly recognised. We even coined him the name 'Pitch Adams' because he was so strong in pitches with his pace and solid creative thinking whatever the task. Pair that with his calm approach to stressful situations and his great creative ideas, and you have a really great asset to any agency."
— Matt Stoddart, Creative Director, TBWA Melbourne / Eleven PR
