NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Paul Chappell

I've been running my own small Indie Agency for ten years with my Business Partner in Sydney, Australia. We're super lean, profitable, work all over the world and enjoy the same calibre of clients and briefs as multinational agencies. Running my own agency means I control my own time, I own the profit from my hard work and I enjoy a more fulfilling and rewarding career.
