Hello. 

Thank you for checking out my work. The work on this site has taken over 20 years to create and compile. I've been an art director for all of those years, a creative leader for most of them, and a CCO for the last few. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn, lead, and produce with some of the most talented people in our business. 

Having worked for several top agencies, on brands ranging from local icons such as BAM to global powerhouses like the NFL and P&G, I have had the chance to help clients grow their business through creativity and reach a wide range of consumers all over the world.

I most recently led creative for Publicis NY and helped to launch Leo NY. Taking the agency from 2 clients to over 10 in under 2 years. Building a creative department from 9 to nearly 40 in that same time. Shaping the culture of creativity while growing the agency with the work at the center.

Please drop me a line if you'd like to talk about any of my work.
Or your work. Or how we might work together. 

Thank you again for visiting. 

Joe
