Here’s some work I’ve done. For some of the world’s biggest brands. And a few of the tallest. Hello!
Experience
I’m a Copywriter. And an Executive Creative Director. I have tons of experience. Perhaps too much. And in some ways not enough.
Brands
Bud Light, Miller Lite, not Coors Light, KraftHeinz, Kraft and Heinz (before they were KraftHeinz), Mondelez, Chevron, Disney, Hershey’s, Reese’s, BelVita, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Kraft Natural Cheese, other cheeses that will go nameless, Cracker Barrel (both the cheese and the restaurant chain), Olive Garden, a local utility here in Chicago, that stuff that you put in sandwiches that’s tangy, a bank or two, Triscuit, Leffe, Guinness, the largest car company in the world, the biggest fast food chain in the world, Nintendo, 17 different brands under the Kellogg’s umbrella (but not Nut ‘N Honey), 7-Up, Pepsi, Coke, (ahem) cigarettes, Hallmark, Mr. Peanut, the Kool-Aid Man. And many many others. Like the Illinois Lottery and Pizza Hut. Okay I’ll stop now. And Lunchables.
My CV
I set out to be a journalist. Got into the number one J-School in the country. Took the first class and… switched majors to Advertising.
Began the journey at Leo Burnett, the largest agency under one roof in the world. First assignment was TV for Tropicana OJ. Came up with something that made no sense. I lasted there for over a decade. (Burnetters were a patient bunch.) Then jumped ship to help start up the Chicago office of McgarryBowen. Six of us, and 32 desks (we had big dreams). Grew into something much bigger called Dentsu Creative, or at least that’s what it was called last time I checked.
I’m based in Chicago. In my spare time, I like to figure out how to get my work up on a website.
