Chemistry Interaction has bolstered its creative offering with the hire of Kishan Chopra, an award-winning integrated art director who has recently returned to New Zealand from two years at MRM Meteorite in London.

Chopra has also worked at Leagas Delaney London, JWT New Zealand and Droga5 New Zealand; his awards shelf features several DMAs for his work for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

After a three month placement at Chemistry, Chopra will be forming a permanent creative partnership with copywriter Bronwyn Retief. “I wanted to feel instrumental in the growth of an agency,” he said.

“Having only been around for three years, Chemistry seems primed for awesomeness. After what’s been a crazy three months, I’m stoked to be a part of the team.”

Chemistry CD Susan Young said: “We’re delighted to have another great talent joining the Chemistry family. Bronwyn and Kishan have already done some beautiful work for IAG, Sovereign, Samsung, Serta and Cancer Society, and we can’t wait to see what they’re going to do next.

“We now have three full-time creative teams, which means we’re really growing up – and out.”
