Andrew Torrisi: As told by Andrew Torrisi.

Hey 👋, my full name is Andrew Mario Torrisi.
Most call me Torrisi, few call me Mario, no one calls me Andrew. Currently a Creative Director at M+C Saatchi AUNZ.

So far I’ve sold a country as a video game in COVID, launched a drivers plate for drivers returning to the road, created a music video with a famous DJ duo for women in engineering, turned a tinder profile into a petition for equal marriage, launched Jeff Bezos’s brand in Australia and got the Prime Minister to recite an old McDonalds jingle. 

My work has been recognised globally at Cannes, D&AD, the One Show and the other usual suspects. I’ve been a judge for various creative award shows and in 2020 and was named a creative tutor of the year for AWARD School along side some other very talented people. In 2023 I became an AWARD Creative Leadership Delegate and was one half of creative team of the year at DDB with his creative partner Stephanie Allen.

Outside creativity, I’m a husband and father of two who spends his weekends at Bunnings in aisle twenty one entertaining my four year old son’s passion for lawn mowers.

Andrew Torrisi: As told by ChatGPT.

Creative Director, Award-Winner, and Proudly Pocket-Sized Word-Fumbler Andrew Torrisi is a Creative Director at M&C Saatchi AUNZ, where he’s responsible for leading major campaigns, mentoring young creatives, and bravely pretending he knows what “ubiquitously” means. Standing at just a few creative inches above the average espresso machine, Andrew proves that great ideas don’t have to come from tall people—or people who can pronounce four-syllable words on the first try.

Hailing from a proud Italian background, Andrew brings his heritage into every brainstorm, often with impassioned hand gestures, unsolicited pasta metaphors, and the occasional “mamma mia” when someone suggests Comic Sans. He's half strategist, half hype-man, and 100% likely to mispronounce "omnichannel" in a pitch deck.

Before his current role at M&C Saatchi (a place where ideas are big, and coffee cups are mercifully small), Andrew made his mark at DDB Sydney. There, he worked on campaigns for Amazon, Tourism New Zealand, and HCF—because if there’s one thing Andrew knows, it’s how to sell insurance and stream TV shows while looking five-foot-nothing in a boardroom full of six-foot strategists.

An AWARD School NSW Tutor of the Year (2022) and a Creative Leadership alum (2023), Andrew is as respected in the industry as he is vertically challenged. He’s passionate about building ideas that become part of culture—though he still refers to culture as “that thing brands do when they get retweeted.”

At M&C Saatchi, Andrew champions the agency’s “Cultural Power” ethos, which means creating work that people talk about, not just skip. His creative style is bold, brave, and only slightly compromised by his need to stand on a box during presentations.

Outside of work, Andrew enjoys being mistaken for an ambitious intern, rehearsing words like “ubiquitously” in front of a mirror, and refusing to admit that every campaign pitch he gives sounds a little like an ad for olive oil.
