“Trent is an absolute pleasure to work with and work against. Even when you have a disagreement...it's always constructive, respectful... probably because he is mostly right. He is one of those restless art directors but it's not a put on, he looks under every nook and cranny to get the best idea possible when others might just settle. What I love about his ideas is they always hit a cultural nerve and so they ripple wide. He also has range, he can make you tear up and make you laugh. That's no mean feat. He doesn't think in campaigns, he thinks in chain reactions and so his ideas are like matches waiting to be lit. Ok, It's clear I am a big fan. One last thing. He also wears the best jackets and elbow patches. Ever.”

“Trent was one of the first creatives that we hired at BMF and from the very first moment we knew we made the right decision. He’s got great talent and the perfect attitude. A true team player, always willing to collaborate and to make an extra effort in order to make the work better. I would highlight his work for Meat and Livestock Australia, particularly the “Throw another steak on the barbie” integrated campaign for Beef. A great example of a multi-channel storytelling with a great social engagement thanks to an idea that really tapped into popular culture.”

”I was privileged to have Trent tutor me for AWARD school 2018. I always looked forward to heading to his class each week as his passion and energy always left me feeling inspired. Trent always had time for me - answering the many emails I pestered him with and the piles of ideas I would put in front of him. Trent changed the way I approach creative problems and taught me to strive for the most interesting solution. It was because of this guidance and support that I finished top of my class and won the national brief. I am very grateful to still have Trent’s ongoing support and mentorship.”
