I love advertising. I’m lucky that I get to use that part of my brain that made me weird as a kid. So when agency workload slows down, I’ll send emails to other teams to see if they need help. I saw this as opportunity to flex my creative muscle and pitch myself.
Nothing beats real life, though. I wrote this on a Post It (Air Max shoe comped out of paper — because studio skills) and placed the note on our new Chief Creative Officer’s computer screen. He'd come from some cooler shops, and I wanted to advocate for more creative work.
