Founded in 1972, we are a strategically driven, full service, independent creative advertising agency that prides itself on delivering measurable
results for both local and global clients.
Specialising in strategy, brand building and cut-through creative we follow a powerful, time-proven modus operandi:
Strategy + Creativity = Results.
Over the last four decades we have worked across virtually every industry category, built dozen of brands from scratch, revitalised tons of existing selling stories and, along the way, sold truckload after truckload of product.
We pride ourselves on our track record and encourage you to review some of our clients' testimonials.
How we work
Our Philosophy
We believe the future is all about innovation and technology; it's about connecting and engaging with consumers via customised messaging using the latest technologies. However, we also believe that, no matter how well and how often you say the wrong thing it will still be wrong. So we strongly believe in getting your strategy right first.
This is what gives the Xavier Creative Department, and the work we produce, such power. With the hard work all done up front, we enjoy an astonishing freedom to create magic - all within carefully defined, pre-agreed boundaries.
We believe that every brand needs a balance - make the sale for today while building the brand for tomorrow. Most importantly though we believe in accountability. We work with our clients to implement strategic plans then develop memorable creative campaigns, always with the view to deliver a measurable return on their investment. We are driven to generate ideas that cut through, communicate and, above all, deliver results.
We are a small, energetic agency with a fun mix of creatives and strategists who have a concierge mentality and great passion for advertising.

Paul Mortimer
Senior Writer
Paul brings a rare blend of talent and experience, high-end conceptual thinking and creative writing ability, to his role at Xavier.
He began his career 30+ years ago as a copywriter at George Pattersons, Brisbane. Several years and half-a-dozen big account wins later (including Queensland Government Tourist Corporation), he was lured to Fortune Australia (Sydney) as Associate Creative Director, with major national and international network responsibilities. Accounts included Cathay Pacific, Esso, Woolworths and Toyota.
Senior writing posts (and the occasional agency directorship) followed at multinational and smaller ‘hot’ Australian agencies alike, USP Needham (where he honed his FMCG skills on Streets and McDonalds), Doorley Buchanan, McWasp, Doorley Abram Davis and Chapman, Euro, John Bevins and Principals among them.
Throughout his career, he has sold much product and won a truckload of awards for both craft and effectiveness (including Australian Public Relations’ supreme award as lead writer on ORTA, Olympic Roads & Transport for Sydney 2000). BT, NRMA, Australian Air Force, Toshiba, Arrowfield Wines, MBF, Freedom Furniture, AEC (Australian Electoral Commission), Commonwealth Bank and James Squire are just a small selection of the brands he has successfully advocated.
