Demosthenous realised his passion for the creative industry, in particular film and filmmaking at an early age. His creative ambitions led him to Newtown High School of the Performing Arts. At university, he studied a Bachelor of Media with a Bachelor of Law and made short films on the side as they offered a creative alternative to his legal assignments. Demosthenous joined Saatchi & Saatchi in 2010 after being selected as the agency’s top pick through the competitive Communications Council graduate program.
