I'm Brendan McGovern. I've created the unfairest cricket match ever played, gotten a racing car driver to change his name to Pizza, helped launch an agency and even made a pig row a boat.
I'm a Creative Lead and Art Director with 15+ years in top UK and Australian agencies. I help brands with big ideas make an even bigger impact, shape culture, and stand out in a world where attention spans are shorter than a TikTok video. Whether launching a product, shifting perception or making people laugh, I bring sharp conceptual thinking and polished execution. Clients include Marvel, Adobe, Pizza Hut, ResMed, Converse, Hyundai, Westpac, and more.
I'm currently freelancing and available to make beautiful ads.
