Taking brands
above and beyond.

We are Crew, and it’s our mission to take our clients’ brands above and beyond.

We are a top-notch creative agency. Too broad? Okay, we specialise in branding, strategy, engagement, advertising and production across all platforms. What’s in the name? We are a tight-knit, got-each-other’s-back team of well-seasoned, highly proficient professionals.

We don’t subscribe to the ‘power of one’. We believe in the power of the many. We believe that less isn’t more – more is more. More drive, more commitment, more skills, more belief in ourselves. The kind of belief that drove humankind to reach higher, faster and further – which we do too, just in a more creative kind of way.

Our values.

We really, really enjoy what we do. We enjoy it, because when our clients are happy, we are. See where we’re going with that?

Going ‘above and beyond’ isn’t just some advertisingese. It’s our mantra, our credo, our reason for getting out of bed in the morning.

Clapping, hugging, fist-pumping are very good things. We try and create something that warrants at least one of these every day.

We chose our icon of an astronaut (Major Tom) looking upwards for a reason. Just like the brave, adventurous and inventive souls that reached for the cosmos, we are happy to take risks – and learn from those that don’t come off.

We might be the guys in the metaphorical capsule, but nothing gets off the pad without our ground Crew – our printers, producers, animators, artists, developers, coders – and, of course, our clients.

Your Crew

If we had a dollar for every time we’ve heard, “we work collaboratively”. The thing is, we actually do – with our clients and amongst ourselves.

We don’t have departments. The entire Crew owns the whole project, together. Yeah, we sit next to one another – we overhear conversations with clients, chats with suppliers. It just means each of us has an idea of the bigger picture, and how and when we can lend a hand. And if anyone wants privacy, they go for a stroll (the local cafés do very well out of us).

Lisa Jesse

Client Services Director

Crew’s clients often wonder how they ever survived before Lisa. Having begun her marketing career with national PR firm, Michels Warren, Lisa then moved to Wilson Everard to manage the Harris Scarfe account. Lisa has since worked in advertising for over 23 years, gaining a vast experience and skills at such agencies as Y&R and JAM.

Nine years and a fistful of awards later, Craig migrated to Australia, as a Creative Group Head at JWT Sydney. He then moved to Melbourne as Creative Director at Leo Burnett – before settling in Adelaide, as a co-founder of Hybrid, and then Crew.

Ronnie Tres Reyes

Head of Art & Design
/ Co-founder

Here is a true, multi-disciplined, modern-day creative. Ronnie’s career began at McCann Manila almost 18 years ago. He then worked in Singapore at some of the region’s top agencies including Bloomberg’s global creative team before arriving in Australia. These roles saw Ronnie work across numerous blue-chip clients, including Levi’s, Coke, Volvo, Bayer and Nissan to name a few.
