ABOUT ME
David Joubert has spent more than 20 years solving problems with big ideas. Across three continents, he’s worked as an Art Director, Creative Director and Executive Creative Director for some of the world’s major agency networks. Today, he is Chief Creative Officer and Partner at independent agency Dig.
Along the way, David has helped relaunch and reinvent some of Australia’s best-known brands, including NRMA, RACV, Mitre 10, The Bottle-O, Bendigo Bank and Australian Pork. He has also created major behaviour-change campaigns for government, tackling everything from driver fatigue and motorcycle safety to childhood vaccination and the transformation of Sydney’s infrastructure. His broader experience spans airlines, telecommunications, technology, automotive, financial services and FMCG, which is a long way of saying he likes a good problem, particularly a complicated one.
His work has been recognised more than 150 times at major international and effectiveness award shows, including D&AD, Clio, New York Festivals, The Andy Awards, Effies, One Show, Cannes Lions and London International Awards. For David, it’s about the work, the people, the hustle and that slightly addictive moment when a difficult problem suddenly gives way to a beautifully simple idea.
He believes creativity is a force and one of his proudest examples came when he worked with former US Vice President Al Gore on a global climate campaign that saw children address the United Nations General Assembly during the 2014 Climate Summit as ambassadors for the future.
