Tom Paine

Tom divides his time between ad making, fishing, and scheming ways to score a free boat. Only the first endeavour has proven fruitful, resulting in a respectable haul of door-stops at every major show, including a D&AD Yellow Pencil, gold at Cannes, and gold at the Effies. He also received the award for ‘Lifetime Achievement in Radio Advertising’ at the geriatric age of 27.
Tom was recently the #1 ranked New Zealand creative. His ranking at home has just slipped to #3 with the arrival of son Louie.
