Mark Cimarosti

After a mildly successful career as a soccer pro, Mark turned to advertising to feed his hunger for adrenalin-charged atmospheres. 20 years later he’s glad he did. He’s been lucky enough to work at some of Australia’s leading agencies. As an early disciple of integrated creative environments, he has been fortunate to work in a couple that were ahead of their time and build a skill set working across all channels – from brand to retail, digital, CRM, shopper and experiential. In the process his work has been recognised at Cannes, Spikes, D&AD, One Show, Caples, AWARD, APMA and ADMA – with over 100 creative and effectiveness awards and nominations to his name (and the names of many other talented people too).
