Kia ora. I’m Tim Huse — an Executive Creative Director with 25 years’ experience helping brands make meaningful things people care about. I’ve worked with agencies including Saatchi & Saatchi, Colenso BBDO, TBWA, Y&R and M+C Saatchi. I like building ideas, brands, and teams. From campaigns to side projects, I’m interested in ideas that engage people, shift thinking, and earn a place in the world.
Along with advertising, I like starting things. Conversations around mental wellness for young creatives, a way to see life is actually quite short, and a purposeful techreseller.
Nice to meet you.
Here are a few recent projects that I have enjoyed helping to create.
