Thank you social person who left that comment. Especially since I’ve spent past 1.5yrs at Adobe creating for and with the world’s most advanced AI-enabled creativity tools. But AI fluency is different than creative and strategic instincts, empathy, and boundless curiosity about the human experience. On those, I remain bullishly OG.
So here’s the tl:dr - be brave, inspire action. That’s pretty much it. The juice behind my creative journey across all sides of the table, from running brand creative at the world’s largest indie ad agency, to leading global creative at Omnicom’s biggest earned comms network, to hustling at creative boutiques, to building in-house creative departments, to most recently, leading BPro social creative at Adobe. No matter the what or where, the m.o. persists - do the brave, unexpected, fun, funny, and human things. All while growing fellow creatives and the world’s most ambitious brands. As the logo buffet down there suggests, I’ve had the good fortune to jam across categories and industries. Most of the brands I led. Some I won. Many I've won things for. Winning’s nice but mostly I love the work and the working. And sometimes the not working so I can work on music, screenplays, and mostly being my dog’s best friend and wife’s second best friend.
