DDB Aotearoa has appointed three new hires to bolster continued growth in its edit, sound and design suite.

 

The new talent in the Auckland-based team is Adam Page as senior editor, Miller Yule as audio engineer and  Jost Claassen as editor, joining editor Dan Partington and motion designer Kasun Ilesinghe to amplify the  agency’s capabilities in this space.  

Previously a freelance editor in the United Kingdom, with work spanning all over the world, Adam Page  specialised in TVCs, branded content, music videos and documentary, bringing to DDB Group global experience  and a knack for storytelling. 

Says Adam: “I’ve always loved the work DDB produce on a global scale and have been a keen observer of DDB  Aotearoa for some time, so it's great to be collaborating with the super talented people here to deliver great  work in 2023 and beyond.” 

Also coming to the agency is Jost Claasen who spent the last three years working in a varied role as a video  editor and visual effects generalist at Creature Post. His remit also spanned work in motion design, augmented  reality, and projection. 

“Coming from a smaller studio, I’ve been looking forward to working at a larger agency and collaborating with  a bigger team. I’ve always been a fan of DDB's work, especially when it comes to the motion and video side, so  I feel that DDB is the perfect place for me to grow as a video editor and as a creative.” 

Miller Yule has come to DDB Aotearoa with 10 years of experience as an audio engineer, composer and  songwriter - with a debut album just released.  

Having spent just under seven years at 99 (now Proximity) as the in-house audio engineer and composer Miller  has since been freelancing for the last two years on various projects - from advertisements, to composing  musical scores for documentaries and film both locally and internationally.  

“Since freelancing the last couple of years, I’m looking forward to being part of a team again. I’ll be bringing my  audio, sound effects, music, composing and bad jokes expertise to the table wherever I can!” 

Liz Knox, group operations managing director at DDB Aotearoa says the hires reflect DDB Group Aotearoa’s  investment in the capabilities of the edit and sound suite.  

“We’re thrilled to be growing our edit, motion and sound capability – a team made up of fantastic talent and a  wealth of experience. Looking ahead, we’ll be collaborating on some great work and getting stuck into  servicing our vast bank of local clients, as well as global projects from the network and beyond.”
