Alvas Onguru
Chief Creative Insurgent
Alvas Onguru was born with a big rattle in his hand. When things get a bit quiet, he shakes it in the hope that it will make a lot of noise. This has been evident throughout his career, which began in 1995 as a trainee copywriter at MCL Saatchi & Saatchi.
In 1997, he joined McCann Erickson as a proper copywriter and won the 1998 APA Grand Prix Craft Award for Best Copywriter, among other awards, becoming the youngest person to take home that coveted spear.
Things were going rather too well for his liking, so in March 2001 he accepted the Creative Director's position at DDB CCL and led that agency to 12 APA awards in his first 8 months.
He eventually got carted off to Johannesburg, South Africa as Executive Creative Director for ZK Advertising International in 2006.
Needing to learn a little more about rattle-shaking, Alvas joined the Berlin School of Creative Leadership in 2008, returning home to set up Fireworks Advertising in January 2010.
