Shannon Bayliss
Creative Marketing Associate

Senior Creative Associate
BDesign (Hons)

Shannon enjoyed a quintessential kiwi upbringing in rural New Zealand — where the values he learned now make him thankful for the grazed knees and treehouses of his childhood.

An eye for detail sparked Shannon’s desire to develop his skills as a designer, completing a diploma in design before extending it into an honours degree from Massey University in Wellington. Surrounded by a creative culture, Shannon cut his teeth through design and project management for online and digital agencies in the nation’s capital. As opportunity knocked Shannon moved to Tauranga where he joined ReserveGroup.

Shannon lives by the value of constant improvement. His positivity, dedication to challenge design boundaries and continuously outperform the previous version of himself translates into enduring brands, impactful visual communications and seamless, connected user experiences for clients.
