The Founders
:: Colin Proebstel, Managing Director
Having lived with the Aussies for a long, long time, it was fate that I ran into a very creative fair dinkum bloke in John Madden. Together with our complimentary backgrounds in Technology and Creative, spawned an idea called Spitfire back in 2004. A place where both of these creative areas could blend together with clever and interesting people to deliver new and exciting marketing opportunities and services to business.
:: John Madden, Creative Director
Hailing from a career in design, advertising and interactive in Melbourne, John found himself lured to New Zealand to fill the role of Art Director at Wilson & Horton Interactive (now APN News & Media) before moving over to join the the former Walkers Advertising & Interactive as Creative Director Interactive working alongside Colin Proebstel. Amongst a great friendship a winning team was forged and the rest is still in the making.
