Simon Bagnasco began his career writing copy for a tugboat company in New Orleans. This is factually true and verifiable by at least one person.

He is currently the Head of Creativity at Saatchi & Saatchi Australia. In 2021 the One Club global creative rankings listed him as the No.1 ECD in the APAC region. In 2022 the World Creative Rankings listed Saatchi & Saatchi as the Number 1 agency in APAC and the Number 7 worldwide. Rest assured, he is both flattered and touched.

In his career, Simon has worked at a variety of agencies including GPY&R, Clemenger BBDO and DDB. His thinking has been regarded locally and globally across a diverse range of categories. Most notably at Cannes, One Show, D&AD and Spikes.

His work is not easily defined and is best viewed on this very web portal you find yourself browsing. Simon has worked on a variety of clients and brands - including automotive, banking and government. And he has made a total of 17 dairy commercials. Enough, perhaps, for an adjacent web portal.

Simon is known as an industry leader and mentor. He has sat on the judging panel for multiple awards shows and lectured at Monash and RMIT University. He has also been a proud member of the Royal Flying Doctors marketing committee.
