Chris has had a dynamic and diverse career, starting with a focus on artistic innovation through Evie, a creative collective that made waves in the art and media scene. His ability to think disruptively then translated into high-profile roles at major agencies, where he worked on some of the world’s most recognizable brands. With experience ranging from global campaigns to personal creative projects, Chris’s career reflects a mix of strategic insight and artistic flair.
After spending time in Sydney and Melbourne with agencies like McCann, CHE Proximity, and Edge, his work earned accolades at industry award shows, reinforcing his reputation for cutting-edge, agnostic creativity. His role as Associate Creative Director at R/GA Australia allows him to shape forward-thinking work, while his passion for photography and short films keeps his creative instincts sharp outside the agency world. Now living on the Surf Coast of Victoria, Chris continues to balance his career with a love for the arts, the ocean, and all things creative.
“Chris Stewart is a non-traditional thinker with a professional head. His background in industrial design makes him come at problems from a different angle – a more out-of-the-box angle that connects with people on a different level. Combined with his experience of working on traditional clients, Chris can produce modern ideas that also respect clients needs and their bottom line. Chris collaborates and consults with our agency on key projects, which is why I’d be reluctant to recommend him for a full-time job. But, if I did recommend him, and you hired him, you’d be securing a rare talent in the industry. ”
