Yes...
that's really my last name.
I have been working in the ad industry for over 20 years.
I am currently an Art Director at Nickelodeon Creative Advertising. You're probably thinking "Nickelodeon and advertising? Really? Oh you probably do promos for the shows, right?"
Not really.
We are the kids and family experts and no one knows our audience better than us. We create work built upon insights that we have been gathering over the years, offering our clients something different than their traditional agencies.
So for the past 4 years I have been creating custom work/spots for big brands like: Toyota, Cheetos, Geico, Mt. Dew, Nationwide, Capri Sun, Popeye's, Walmart, Tracfone and many more.
Before Nick I was an ACD at BBDO NY for 16 years. Which gave me a great foundation in advertising and was lucky enough to cut my teeth on brands like GE, Pepsi, Snickers, Cingular and Frito-Lay.
I feel very fortunate to be able to be creative for a living and I love making stuff- be it a tv spot, a small animation, or even a song...it's who I am.
