Dynamic Duos: ‘Instant Cousins’ Mark Coad and Andrew ‘Billy’ Baxter
In this week’s Dynamic Duos, industry veterans Mark Coad and Andrew ‘Billy’ Baxter share how two cousins from regional Victoria found themselves in some of the most influential positions in the advertising industry.
Mark Coad:
Well, specifically we met on 13 December, 1967 – the day I was born. Billy was a whopping 2 days old then. Our mums are sisters and we were born in the same hospital. I can’t say I recall that first meeting, but we did grow up as young cousins in two very close families. We went our own way through schooling and university – but always kept in close contact.
I’ve hardly ever met either of them but I really enjoyed reading that more of this please It’s a pleasure to better understand influential people in the industry
I’ve also only ever heard nice things about both of them
