New Zealand copywriter/CD Craig Love has just moved back to New Zealand after eight years working in Asia, most recently as Regional CD at Y&R Hong Kong.

“Hong Kong is a wonderful place for adults to live and work, but New Zealand is much better  for the kids,” he told M+AD.

Love won four Gold Axis awards before heading to Asia and his award tally while working in Singapore and Hong Kong includes five Gold One Show Pencils, a Yellow Pencil and two nominations for Yellow Pencils at D&AD, and Gold at Cannes.

He is looking for freelance, contract, or full-time work. ECDs who would like to see his work can give him a call on 021 933 464 for a link to his online portfolio.
