About Us

Chris “Hincey” Hince & Andy “Andy” Segal

25 years in the industry. 10 years together. We celebrated with a bespoke gold leaf donut.

We love the challenge every brief brings. We embrace it. Thrive on it. It’s how we get our kicks. We’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with talented, nice, funny, intelligent people from all over the world.

We’re Creative Directors and Award School Tutors. But that’s not all that defines us. Here’s a little about each of us.

Now a word from our sponsor …

“Chris and Andy; like a fresh cocktail of resilience and craft, served with a healthy dose of “I wasn’t expecting that.” These two have a unique ability to pick apart an audience mindset, connect via intrigue or fitting proposition, then bring them on a journey from ‘like’ to ‘want’ to ‘where can I buy’. At its core, Chris and Andy’s work stems from two under-appreciated crafts: on one side sits an enduring visual skillset, one that out-fashions fashion. While on the other is a genuine ability to story tell, media agnostic, hanging on every word type engagement. Specific credence should be paid to their work in evolving the Ford Ranger’s brand in Australia from a product with potential in 2015 through to Australia’s most aspired Truck brand in 2018.”
