ABOUT

MARK FORGAN & JAMIE STANDEN

Creative Directors

We’re a couple of kiwis who live and work in France. Our first collaboration was in the kitchen of a Wellington pizza restaurant. That was a long time ago. Since then, we’ve worked at agencies such Clemenger BBDO in New Zealand, and Young & Rubicam, BBDO and Ogilvy in France. We helped launch the agency Rosapark and got on the cover of Shots magazine. Our work has featured on the covers of Archive and the Epica annual .

Our work has been awarded at all the major shows and we’ve served on various juries including Cannes Print and Publishing, Cannes Promo and Activation, and Clio Film.

We wouldn’t usually talk up second place, but one of our TV ads was voted second most popular in France one year, and for a couple of guys that speak average French on a good day, we thought that was pas mal.

If you want to know more about us, and what it’s like to work in France, here’s an article we wrote for Campaign Brief.
