Daniel Neville

Idea Bounty Brand Coordinator & "Fatty"

Daniel Neville was born in Zimbabwe, where he stayed until moving to Cape Town at the age of six for his first year of school at S.A.C.S. His most significant memory of this period of his life was being forced to wear shoes for the first time.

Dan Dan’s the Idea Bounty Brand Coordinator and from the Cape Town QuirkStation, he collaborates with big brands to source creative solutions to marketing and communications problems. The Idea Bounty business model is based on crowdsourcing – where ideas for client briefs are drawn from its online creative community of more than 20 000 innovative minds in exchange for monetary rewards.

As the school years passed, Daniel excelled at surfing and music. Unfortunately these subjects weren't offered in the curriculum. Being forced to wear shoes and a "pointless straw hat" were not part of his five year plan and therefore didn't pay much attention to his schoolwork. Somehow he managed to complete a degree in Film Production and Media Studies at UCT and then spent a year slaving away over an honours degree in Brand Leadership from the Vega School in 2008.

Known as Chipchow amongst his friends, this QuirkStar is a self-confessed Facebook fiend (shock/horror) and can't live without beer, Vice Magazine, KFC Double Crunches, beer, friends, festivals, art exhibitions, beer and surf trips.
