In a career spanning 20+ years, Stanley Johnson has held Creative Director roles at award winning creative agencies in London and Melbourne. He was headhunted from a leading independent agency to become Creative Director of tech company MYOB, where under his creative leadership they were named Australia’s Most Innovative Large Company by Fairfax Media.
This website features a portfolio of some of the creative highlights from his 5 year tenure at MYOB, as well as a handful of podcasts and projects created outside of MYOB. To see what he’s been up to lately, click here to visit the website of his creative consultancy Stan/Lee.
An industry advocate for young people and creativity, Stanley helped co-found the ADMA Creative School in Melbourne, spent four years on the Advisory Panel for the highly regarded advertising school at RMIT University and was a Board Director of the not-for-profit SHINE For Kids.
The man, quite frankly, is a genius in communication. I witnessed leadership, not only at a team level, but at an industry level. He changed my wiring for the better, and has the ability to make change for client, brand, business or an individual. A rare fellow in this game and one of the nicest people you will encounter.
Stan combines the strategic disciplines of a highly experienced direct marketer with a strong understanding of technology - a rare and incredibly valuable combination. He has become a thought leader in the area of brand building and results driven strategy, simply by applying his unique creative abilities to this space.
Stan brings senior creative talent coupled with a great handle on the contemporary environment. Not only is he a talented creative director, he is also a fantastic team member, leader, mentor and has a strong strategic bent. He's a joy to work with and inspired me daily.
