Ted Brearley   Senior Creative Melbourne

I’m a senior creative (copy) with 8 years experience working across brand, social first, and integrated campaigns in London and Melbourne.

I spent the past four years at OLIVER leading and inspiring a team of creatives to deliver award-worthy work for brands including Durex, Evian, and Marmite. As Creative Lead of the global Durex Social Squad, I aligned markets and stakeholders to unlock budgets and launch culturally impactful campaigns at speed, while moving the team onto AI-driven tools like Pencil to boost efficiency and expand our creative horizons.

From global strategic thinking to thumb-stopping content, I’m at home on set, with clients, and at activations, behind or in front of the camera. My not-so-secret weapon is music. I compose, record, and sing original jingles and songs that have won countless pitches and been featured in campaigns for Toblerone and Durex.

Along the way I’ve eaten thousands of OREOs, built a chatbot before ChatGPT was a thing, worked on sets across the world, and sung about the wonders of period sex. If you’d like to make something great together, give me a buzz.
