ASSISTANT CAT HERDER
Gavin Krasner — Creative Director
Gavin studied graphic design in London and went on to complete a Master of Arts at the University for the Creative Arts, where he ended up making a 25-minute film, which his lecturer despised. (It was called 5 Days One Summer).
With almost 30 years of experience across many industry sectors, Gavin’s experience is vast. He’s worked with global fashion brands, record labels, blue-chip insurers, and interior designers. Chops For Tea was set up just over 12 years ago when Gavin moved from Melbourne to Castlemaine, a historic town in the heart of the Central Victorian Goldfields.
Over the years, Chops For Tea has helped its client base develop and market its brands, products and services with passion, enthusiasm and a high degree of skill. Chops For Tea (with their partners) provides an almost full agency service, at the heart of which lies an in-depth knowledge of how to shape and craft brand communications.
