Tariq Bailey
Art Director / Designer

Tariq is a conceptual Art Director & Designer with 17 years experience in ATL and digital advertising. Inspired by his infamous Design and Art teacher, Andrew Putter, he registered to study Art Direction at the AAA School of Advertising. After graduating, he joined Lowe Bull where he worked under Porky Heffer for 4 years before moving to Singh and Sons and then onto Ogilvy Cape Town. Currently is working on a freelance basis as he has done so for close to 7 years.

Tariq is an asset to any studio. He is incredibly hard-working and dedicated to his craft. He slots in easily to any team and is well-suited to this dynamic. And to quote a former copywriter,
“I think you should say something about your sense of humour, it’s one of your strongest skills.”

Some of his great loves include most design/photography centred things, a successful surf, a sweaty boxing session or a couple of episodes of a Curb your Enthusiasm with his Bull Terrier, Bill.

He has worked on a wide-range of clients, including Volkswagen, Kia, Yoco, Castle Lite, Hansa, Rain, Woolworths, Caltex, Allan Gray, Metropolitan,Cipla, News24, Cape Times and Motorola and many more.
