Meet Rohan Brown—Art Director, office DJ, curator of vibes. In case you didn't know, he's the creative genius behind many of our biggest client campaigns over the past five years. But we'll let Ro do the talking.
Alright, spill the beans! What's your gig at Orchard all about? And what was it that made you go, "Yep, this team's got the mojo"?
Art Director! Sometimes I create the ideas and sometimes I help bring other people’s ideas to life.
It all started 5 years ago…the opportunity to be surrounded by a whole team of 20-odd like-minded creatives was incredibly validating for lil 26 year old me, crippled with impostor syndrome; and made me realise that hey, kid, you’re doin pretty ok! And look at me now ma, I’m 31 and still employed somehow.
What does 'Connected Experiences' mean to you?
Daisychaining a bunch of fairy lights together to make your house the brightest Christmas display on the street. The cords are our different departments working together and the light show synchronised to Skrillex’s “Bangarang” is the results we get for our clients…if that’s confusing, watch this and you’ll get it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWdOjXJzmZU&t=144s
What's the most exciting project you've worked on recently?
GSK Cost of Shingles lifestyle photoshoot last year – 4 locations across 2 days to create some really beautiful pieces of localised creative.
How do you recharge and find inspiration outside of work?
A cheeky arvo nap, a good hike and a great banh mi.
What's the coolest tech trend you're currently geeking out over?
Suno song creator.
Describe working at Orchard in one word.
