About me

Toby is a multiple award winning creative director with a passion for healthcare.


Although he feels old when he say's he's been in the game for well over 20 years he doesn't act it.
Before joining Ogilvy CommonHealth in 2010 Toby worked with some of Sydney’s top healthcare agencies, leading the creative output across a range of pharmaceutical, animal and consumer health blue chips. Be it global or local campaigns, print or digital, Toby approaches every brief with the aim to help his team create great ideas that transform the way we think about health. He is always in pursuit of the ultimate idea that will drive and deliver a better world.


He has recently won 3 Lions at Cannes and picked up trophies at The Globals, Spikes and Clio healthcare shows. Toby has also judged at the Clios Healthcare awards and the NYF Globals Awards.
