Me upon discovering the beautiful email you just sent to gtrengrove@hotmail.com
Hi, I’m Guy, A mid-weight  copywriter at Colenso BBDO, hellbent on making work that my 17-year-old self wouldn’t hate. At Colenso, our motto is ‘Do the best work of your life’, so please check back soon - I’m busy making it.

Before Colenso, I was at DDB NZ, Cheil NZ, Hello and interned at FCB NZ. Before that, I cooked in a Mexican restaurant and played Halo professionally. Not at the same time. Although, that would go hard as fuck.
