They’re passionate about bringing our scripts to life and go above and beyond to make them better than we ever thought they could be. Their level of craft is exceptional and we consider them to be true creative partners.”

“Designing Buddy’s leather jacket and being out-punned by my designer who came up with the ‘Quok n’ quoll’ and ‘Rottnest Crew’ badges was great. Seeing Buddy’s floppy hair style come together was brilliant. Oh and actually just paying homage to Def Leppard with the window projection shapes on the wall brought me great joy,” says Simon Robson, Director.

“I remember sitting in my bedroom, sometime in the mid 80s when i was in my early teens. My sister walked past my door with a friend and jibed, ‘Oh, my brother is into soft rock ballads’. I was incensed, then i looked over at my stack of LPs; Foreigner, Van Halen, Poison, Chicago, Mr, Mister…and i realised she was right. So what could have been more perfect for a hair-rock child of the 80s turned animation director, than to be bring Buddy the quokka to life in his soft rock ballad incarnation?..
The fact that the agency and client managed to get the rights to Foreigner’s seminal ‘I wanna know what love is’, was mind-blowing. And the wonderful thing is, a large part of the agency’s brief was, ‘Do your thing, we trust you’. Mighty Nice have such a strong history with the HBF quokkas. They have consistently brought them to life in such endearing and memorable way. As director of the spot, my sails really were filled with so much good-will wind created by the long and healthy agency relationship Mighty Nice had cultivated.” – Simon Robson, Director
