Stuart Alexander is a GCD for TBWA/Media Arts Lab, a global agency that works exclusively for Apple.
As creative lead in ANZ, he helps create both local and global campaigns. These have included showing how tough iPhone is, how Apple Watch saves lives and how Apple Intelligence can make things a little easier.
Prior to Media Arts Lab, he spent five years at The Monkeys (🪦) as co-creative lead on Telstra, where he helped raise creative standards and relaunch the brand.
Separately, work for the NRL sparked a conversation around indigenous representation, while a brand campaign for TAB debated Australia’s national sport and was recognised at shows including D&AD.
Throughout his twenty plus year career he’s been a strong advocate for the impact non-traditional work can make.
Some examples include; The Palau Pledge, a highly successful eco-tourism initiative, helping make all Telstra pay phones permanently free and building a car powered by human attention as part of a road safety initiative in Western Australia.
