TEQUILA\Digital Singapore hires new CD

TEQUILA\Digital Singapore has appointed Oz Dean as creative director. Oz, born Austen James Dean, has a strong track record in the digital space and over the past six years has worked for some of Sydney’s top digital studios, including Droga5, Happy Soldiers, The Furnace, Pollen, Deepend and Host.

He joins TEQUILA\Digital Singapore from Sydney-based TEQUILA\Australia where he was involved in driving digital campaigns for the agency’s major clients.

Brent Farrell, TEQUILA\Digital Singapore’s Managing Director, said the appointment of Oz was a coup for the agency. “Oz is a key addition to the team. He brings a breadth of creative, ideation and problem solving skills that will help us continue to raise the level of our craft in the digital space. He is a digital pioneer. He has lived ‘Disruption’ his entire career. And the fact that he’s genuinely a team-first leader makes him the perfect fit for TEQUILA\Digital as we continue to grow our footprint in the Asia Pacific arena.”

Commenting on his move north, Oz said he has been on the hunt for a new creative home for some time, an opportunity that could engage and excite him in terms of its digital opportunities.

“The chance to join a growing team and manage projects from end-to-end, the strategy, the approach, always with an eye on the high quality outcome is what I have been looking for as a next move in the business,” he said.
