Kieran Burke is…

A communications specialist and marketing and advertising professional of twenty years.

I’m a creative strategist, brand builder, and team leader.

I am currently Managing Partner & Strategy Director at creative practice Agency Next Door (A.N.D) where we are fortunate to be working with Bond University, Helly Hansen, American Apparel, Taylors Wines, Philter Brewing, Rygg Sports Cream, Black Hops, Husk Rum, Ink Gin, WNBL Australia, CBCo, StrangeLove Drinks Co., and Casio G-SHOCK.

I started my career as a junior creative at DePasquale Brisbane before working in-house at L.V.M.H London. 

After moving from bottle shops to freelance writing to event management, I landed at Monster Children Magazine where I was Managing Editor and Creative Projects Director.

I spent the last 15 years at Monster Children Creative where I was Client Director and strategy lead (until June 2024).

At Monster Children Creative, I was fortunate to lead the strategic direction and creative output for a variety of FMCG & lifestyle brands, not-for-profits and government organisations such as: adidas, Patagonia, Corona Australia, New Zealand & Global, Converse, Havaianas, Stone & Wood, Tooheys, Bonsoy, 4 Pines, Greenpeace, Canon, Budweiser, Casio, Byron Bay Brewery, Hummingbird Coffee, FELLR, Wanaka Tourism, Gold Coast City Council, Campos & Kirin to name a few (of the real good ones.) Further, over this tenure I produced and managed events and large scale brand experiences in South Africa, Fiji, Tahiti, Maldives, Portugal, New Zealand, Indonesia, Australia and Hawaii.

In my spare time I combine all my day job skills as a frustrated creative through my not-for-profit social enterprise ART HELPS HEAPS raising money for charities that help families and individuals who live with or care for those who have a rare genetic disorder or disease, like my youngest son Jack.
