Here’s what people in the industry have to say about us.
“Absolutely loved my time working with these two legends. An ever reliable team who always bring more to the table than asked. They leave no stone un-turned when tackling creative briefs and know when to fight for good ideas. Their passion to do well in the industry is refreshing in any creative department, and their social game is strong making them the ultimate work mates. I'd happily work with them again in a heartbeat."
Rogan Briggs
Creative Director, CHE Proximity
“Steve and John are both terrific guys and terrific creatives. They work their arses off, leaving no stone unturned in looking for creative solutions. They care deeply about the work and making a real impact in clients’ businesses. Would work with them again in a flash."
Dom Megna
Executive Creative Director, Spinach
“It has been a pleasure to work with Stephen and John over the years. Not only have they been successfully building their careers in Melbourne’s advertising industry, but they have generously supported the industry at every opportunity including being AWARD School tutors, mentors, lecturers and judges.
They are positive, kind, and smart, and strive to make the advertising industry better. Their mentoring of the next generous of creatives is to be admired. "
Amy Lee
The Communications Council, Award School Victoria State Manager
“For anyone reading this on their website and wondering how sincere these quotes can possibly be, know this: they’re a great creative team. Trust me.”
Michael Mulcahy
Creative Director, GTB
“If you are looking for a creative duo who are as talented as they are nice, then you can’t look past Steve and Panz. In my experience working with them, their passion to create work that works was palpable. For Steve and Panz it was never creative for creative’s sake but always about its impact. A refreshing change in a world where creativity can often be an end in itself. Steve and Panz are a seasoned but hungry team and their best work truly lies ahead of them.”
Anuj Mehra
Head of Experience Strategy & Design, BOQ Group
“Absolute bloody legends. Advertising was a scary game when I started AWARD School but Panz and Stephen showed me how to be the creative I really wanted to be. They’re tough critics but I love that about them, they always push for better work. I don’t think my book would have looked half as good as it did without them. So, they could probably claim any success I have from now on to be honest. And they probably will. Bastards.”
