Hello, I’m
Clinton Duncan,
this is my website

These days I'm a marketer, but prior to that I enjoyed a diverse career in the creative industries as a strategist, creative and designer.

I started out as a graphic designer, and progressed to creative leadership, but pivoted to brand and marketing strategy with a move into the world of advertising.

This website shows my 'old' strategy and design work, and my new work as a marketing leader at HR software business Mumba Cloud.

As a brand and advertising strategist I worked for agencies such as Howatson+Company, CHE Proximity and Publicis Worldwide

Clients highlights included Honda Australia, Allianz, Vanguard, 7-Eleven, Telstra, Qantas, NRMA, Virgin Australia, Aussie Home Loans, Mondelez AsiaPac, NSW Government and Oneworld.

In my design carer I was a Creative Director at Moon Group, THERE and Designworks, as well as Head of Design for Sony Australia. I began my career with Frost* Collective.

Clients included Google, Victoria Government, 3M, CocaCola Amatil, Vodafone, Lend Lease, Westfield, Westpac, Stockland, Big W, Luxxotica, St Vincent’s Private Hospital and Macquarie Bank.

Full stack marketer, strategist and creative.

Yes that’s right, I can do it all.

My skillset isn’t normal, because I haven’t travelled the ‘usual path’ in a marketing or creative career.

I discovered Graphic Design while studying Economics at University, and decided to switch career path. Thus, I’m a self taught designer, creative and problem solver, but with an aperture wider than the world of visual and advertising culture.

That wider aperture was a gift, and a curse. As a designer, I wanted to immerse myself in clients more than creating imagery afforded me. A shift into advertising and strategy allowed me many chances to draw upon my wide gamut of interests, marrying creative fluency, human insight with my education, giving unique understanding of business.
