Introducing the CoBox Collective

Being a collective means we’re flexible, adaptable and reliable, making sure every connection reflects our unique blend of innovative talent. We thrive on collaboration, working together to craft content that resonates and inspires.

Aaron Petersen

Founder, Collective Creative Lead & Director

Aaron is the visionary behind CoBox Collective and the thread that runs through the group. His belief that the future of creative is collective, not competitive, is the reason CoBox exists. He works independently as a Director + Shooter, and co-founded ShotBox Films and Adbox alongside leading the collective.

Sarah Linton

Creative Solutions Lead & Producer

Sarah is an independent producer who reads a brief holistically - the objective, the audience and the craft, all at once. Her experience spans the UK and Australia, with a track record in narrative-driven content that earns its keep. On CoBox projects she turns a client's goal into a plan the whole group can build on.

Elle Zirwanda

Project Lead & Producer

Elle is an independent producer out of advertising, built for the jobs with the most moving parts. She keeps concept, crew and schedule in sync so nothing slips between the cracks from kick-off to delivery. When a project has to land on time and on spec, Elle's the one holding it together.

Rhys Dal Cin

Brand & Marketing Lead (Statement Group)

Rhys is Statement Group, and he brings the brand and marketing side to the collective. He works out what a brand actually stands for before a single frame is shot, then makes sure the marketing carries it through. With CoBox, he's the one connecting the creative to the brand so the work doesn't just look good, it moves the needle.

Evan Zell

Live Events Lead (Reel Impact Media)

Live is where Evan does his best work. Fifteen-plus years in television and event production have taken him from VIVID Sydney to broadcast crosses for The Morning Show and live directing for the NSW Department of Primary Industries. Across cameras, switching and remote transmission, he makes sure a CoBox event goes out exactly as planned. Live doesn’t do second takes.

Brendan Cook

Art Director & Creative Director (pictureDRIFT)

pictureDRIFT, the Sydney design studio Brendan founded in 2002, has more than twenty years of visual craft behind it. On set one day and in the studio the next, he moves easily between live action, animation and design, always chasing the essence of an idea. On CoBox projects, Brendan sets the creative bar, then makes sure every frame clears it.

Aaron Schereck

Strategic Director & Business Dev (One3six)

Aaron runs One3six Creative and brings the commercial half of the equation to CoBox. Decades of advertising and direct-response work have given him real client empathy and a sharp read on the problem behind the brief. He knows what a marketing challenge actually costs, and how to solve it.

Cybele Brown

Accounts & Finance (Money Trail)

Cybele is the founder of Money Trail, and she's the operational floor the whole collective stands on. Her work in finance and administration keeps CoBox moving so the creatives can stay on the creative. Steady, precise and unflappable, the reason the business side never becomes the story.

From the heart of Newtown, the CoBox Collective offers clients the very best in human creativity.
