The Essential List: Shane Bradnick
The DDB New Zealand ECD is a bit obsessed with The War on Drugs, but drives a practical family car and isn’t above reading Lee Child
As a father of two, ECD at DDB New Zealand Shane Bradnick isn’t too concerned with having and liking the coolest things anymore. He’s not above making terrible puns about his very functional car and he makes a very reliable beef and Guinness pie.
Then again, having worked in the urbane ad industry for almost 20 years has undoubtedly shaped his tastes. He might not be sold on kombucha yet, but he is a bona fide sushi fan.
