YoungShand is delighted to announce the arrival of two healthy creatives

AUCKLAND, Today: Indie creative agency YoungShand has added more muscle to its team in Blake Street, Ponsonby. ECD Anne Boothroyd said: “The very healthy weighted pair of boys, Jake Siddall and Sokpart Pao, have joined the family as creative group heads, adding creative firepower, cat snaps and fresh dad-jokes to the team.

Sokpart said: “I’ve read somewhere that you’re supposed to surround yourself with clever people. And there’s a lot of clever and talented people here, passionate about doing brave, meaningful work.

“I also don’t mind the Friday balcony barbeques overlooking the Waitakere Ranges.” 

“There’s a lot of clever and talented people here, passionate about doing brave, meaningful work.”

Boothroyd: “Humbly bragging as the unofficially longest-running active, creative team in NZ of 12 years and counting, the duo brings a wealth of experience, award-winning flair and creative prowess with them.

“Coming from a big agency-network background (including Colenso, RappTribal and Publicis Mojo,), Jake and Sokpart have leapt in, boots’n’all, to the new unexplored world of the indie agency lifestyle.

“They have that sought-after creative combination of talent, diligence and a drive to craft work for our client partners that taps into the unreasonable power of a brilliant idea. They’re also just good humans.

“The pair, who joined the YoungShand team at the end of 2020, has been welcomed with open arms. And they’re already making a big impact.”
