Clive Burcham

Clive grew up on a farm in Western Australia (there were no sheep!!). He dreamed big. At fifteen and a half he picked up a video camera and directed and produced his first TV pilot, ‘Kidz Biz’ which aired on TV. After working for all the major Australian television networks he launched the innovative, multi international award winning Comedy Channel and drove record sales while creating innovative brand funded ideas such as ‘Hahn Ice Headliners’, ‘toyotatraycomedy’ and helped launch the careers of the today’s TV and Radio Network stable (oh well). He proceeded to become a major smart arse himself (which apparently he isn’t), crossed the Pacific and worked for AttiK and iDeutsch in New York and Fuel in Los Angeles. Through the top creative job at a UK broadband outfit he racked up the frequent flier miles to launch four broadband channels across the globe (Done and Dusted, Skive being two), including Madonna’s record setting $45m MSN Webcast. To Clive’s delight the globe trotting soon involved several Ford Supermodels through his successful stint as International Project Director for ‘Search for a Supermodel’. Yet this wasn’t enough. While having a drink at the Lotus Bar on the Lower East Side of New York City Clive suddenly had a crisis of conscience (or lack there of). He wanted to work with people and ideas that stuck a stiff middle finger to tradition (his nickname his actually ’stiffy’). He wanted to work on creative that was authentic. For a year he meditated over this idea while exercising like Forrest Gump on Bondi Beach and managing the band The Hampdens until finally he pulled his finger out of his arse and gave birth to TCO.

The mantra was to create work that is a legitimate connection between creator and consumer. Passion paid off. TCO doubled its business each year in its first three years and almost quadrupled last year. It is now Australia’s largest independent branded entertainment specialist. In the last year TCO have produced 600 branded digital films, dozens of live events, a TV series, documentaries, 75 integrated TV campaigns and then some. Clive has turned a seed in his brain into a myriad of engaging experiences for mobile, online, broadcast, and other formats and realms not yet known to humanity. Blue chip clients such as Coca-Cola, Vodafone, Telstra, FFA, Network Ten and the Oaktree Foundation have all come to TCO’s innovative and visionary fold. Set to move to a big house in Redfern, TCO now looks to the future. In the meantime Clive loves riding his bike - the dream to one day win the Tour de France. Watching from the sidelines will be his beloved wife Belinda and the newest addition to the family - little Betty-Rose Angel Burcham.
