In short, I’ve gotten a lot of opportunities. And I’ve tried to make the most of each and every one of them. Which has led to recognition in the form of gold and titanium lions, gold and silver clios and one show finalists galore. But, for me, the real reward is gaining the trust of top creative directors and their bosses. That way, they keep me coming back…which is nice:)
A funny thing happened on the way to my next agency job. I discovered freelancing. I’m still looking for that great full-time gig, but in the last 8+ years, I’ve been lucky enough to work with some really good agencies on some great brands like Starbucks, Apple, United, Skittles, Jim Beam, Altoids, Bud Light and Subaru, just to name a few. I worked on the launch campaign for the initial iPhone at the Apple mothership in Cupertino. Which means I got to hold (under incredibly close scrutiny) one of the very first 2G prototypes.
