Hi, I’m Harry Singh from South Auckland, New Zealand. I have two brothers - one older, one younger, both bigger. I’m absolutely crazy about fly-fishing, boxing, music, snowboarding and anything old with an engine. My prized possessions are my Sage fly-fishing rods, ipod, snowboard and my 1966 Ford Coupe “Lost Wages”.
Growing up I was the kid you could give a pen and paper to and I was entertained for days, or until I ran out of paper. Give me a box and a marker and I was stoked for weeks. To be honest not a lot has changed.
To me knowledge is power and I love learning. After attending AUT University (Bachelor of Communications, Major in Advertising) I started at Ogilvy New Zealand the day after my last exam. Two months into our interning stint we were hired. It was a great opportunity to work with some amazing creatives and huge household brands. I left Ogilvy to chase snow and catch trout, and ended up in an epic land- Banff, Canada.
After nine months and feeling refreshed, inspired and more driven than ever I'm ready to reimmerse myself in advertising and further my career.
To date my career accomplishments are:
2008 CAANZ Axis Student Awards finalist
2008 NAB (Newspaper Advertising Bureau) National Student Awards Second place.
2008 Crow Bar (Singapore) Awards: Silver
2009 CAANZ Axis Awards Finalist Emerging Talent.
2009 CAANZ Axis Awards Newspaper Finalist.
