This year, Lisa Fedyszyn, CCO at Special Aotearoa, was named Campaign UK Global Creative Leader of the Year. And she’s proud of helping Special win back to back Campaign UK ‘Global Creative Agency of the Year’ titles, for the past two years.
With a passion for creating impactful work that resonates in both culture and brands work, Lisa has resurrected dead TV characters for their Last Performance for life insurance brand Partners Life, assisted a man with Motor Neurone Disease by selling his belongings through a digital timeline reflective of his deterioration, and created the ‘Most entertaining recruit film’ for the New Zealand Police, resulting in a significant increase in female and diverse recruits. She also encouraged Kiwis abroad to “meddle” in New Zealand elections, leading to a parliamentary shift for the first time since 1938. And shifted Kathmandu from a brand parents wear to one embraced by their kids, thanks to a Merman and an Owl DJ in “Summer never sleeps”.
An Aus Zealander, Lisa has worked at Droga5 New York, DDB Aotearoa, Colenso BBDO, and now Special, Lisa’s innovative work has received multiple prestigious awards, including D&AD Yellow Pencil, Grand Prix and Golds at Cannes, Best in Discipline and Gold Pencils at One Show and Gold Effies and WARC Grand Prix for Effectiveness.
Lisa lives with her dog, Matilda Jane, and partner in Tāmaki Makaurau. She keeps a spare key under her mat. Feel free to pop in and say hello.
