Stefanie DiGianvincenzo

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Stefanie spent her early years working as a copywriter in some of the city’s top advertising agencies, including Clemenger BBDO and DDB.

In 2011, after spotting a gap in the local creative market, she co-founded Melbourne’s first copywriting collective, Apostrophe. Ready for a shot at the international market, in 2014 she took off to London and joined AKQA as Global Creative Lead on Nike Women. And in 2016, she returned home to Melbourne and joined Clemenger BBDO as Creative Director.

Frustrated with the homogeneity she faced returning to her home market, in 2017 she co-founded Rare, a platform designed to realise leadership potential in underrepresented talent, and drive more inclusive, more innovative cultures across the creative, media and tech industries.

Her work has been recognized at every major international award show, including D&AD, One Show, Clio, Webby, Spikes, Cannes Lions, Effies, Echo and AWARD.
