Hi, I’m Tamryn.

I’m the Co-Founder and CCO of Hijinks, the UK’s first Female and Queer founded agency. Hijinks was founded on the principle of ‘Positivity Through Creativity’, both in the work and the way that we work.

My 16+ years experience includes working in-house as Creative Lead for YouTube EMEA and agency side working at a number of leading London and New Zealand ad agencies including BBH London, Colenso BBDO Auckland, Joint, Publicis, TBWA\ and VMLY&R London.

A truly integrated creative, I’m as comfortable writing a social campaign as I am a TV script. Over the years I’ve helped make lifesaving law changes, created an animated love story, launched a telco, made graffiti 3D and told stories of mateship to stop young guys driving drunk.

Being collaborative comes naturally to me and I love working with everyone from creatives, directors, designers and producers to developers and strategists.

I’m passionate about championing women in creative industries and outside of work I’ve volunteered for Creative Equals and She Says. I also enjoy mentoring and working with up and coming talent and have been a D&AD, Cream, One Show, Media Design School, Who's your Mama, The Dots and For Creative Girls mentor.
