He has contributed writing and photography to various publications including Sunday Times South Africa[2][3][4], Wall Street Journal[5] and BBC Wildlife magazine[6]. Crone was previously a creative director in the advertising industry having worked for a number of agencies including Hunt Lascaris TBWA and Saatchi and Saatchi in South Africa, and Ogilvy & Mather in the USA and Norway. In 2011 he left the advertising industry to explore journalism, writing part time for the commercial film magazine, Screen Africa, and other advertising industry publications.

The article exposing the fake advert shed light on the advertising industry's propensity to create scam campaigns for no reason other than to win awards.
