Following the success of being named Global
Production Company of the Year at the London International Awards,
AIRBAG has established an office in Surry Hills, Sydney, with producer
Alex Tizzard (pictured) at the helm.
With over 17 years
experience across Australia and London on iconic brands like Guinness,
Lexus, Adidas, Nike, Barclays Bank, Jaguar and VW, Tizzard brings a
passion for both filmmaking and innovation to the role.
Says Adrian Bosich, managing partner, "Thanks to a relentless drive to
knock work out of the park for our agency partners, and a philosophy of
saying "how" instead of "no", AIRBAG has earned a reputation for
bringing to life some of the world's most innovative and engaging
communications. It's helped us continue to grow, and now with 40% of our
work originating from Sydney, it feels like the right time to set up a
more permanent home here. We're excited to be working more closely with
the creative industry in Sydney, and to welcome Alex on board to lead
the charge."
Says Martin Box: "I've been working closely with Alex for a while and
have been impressed with his friendly, forthright manner and intuitive
understanding of the business. His ability to balance creative
opportunity with pragmatism is invaluable, and importantly he's a great
cultural fit. There's no doubt his experience will be instrumental in
helping AIRBAG move into its next phase."
Says Tizzard: "I'm
really excited to join the talented and forward thinking group of
creative people at AIRBAG, and can't wait to get started. I've always
enjoyed pitting my wits against the range of challenges I encounter on
every project I work on, so I'm looking forward to helping the team here
to continue to push boundaries and create unique, award winning work."
Notable
work from AIRBAG across both Film and Tech/Activations includes the
interactive 'Meet Graham' (Clemenger BBDO Melbourne), 'Made Possible by
Melbourne' (McCann Melbourne), and the Marriage Equality film which
aired during the finale of The Bachelor, (Leo Burnett Melbourne). With
an ambition to bring to life whatever people can think up, AIRBAG brings
a truly non-traditional production offering to Sydney.
AIRBAG Sydney is officially open for briefs or just a beer and a chat, so get in touch.
