Hi. I’m Mark.

After spending over 25 years as an advertising Creative Director and Art Director, both on staff and as a freelancer, I’ve gathered a wealth of experience. I’ve done everything from crafting the smallest social post to implementing global campaigns. I’ve worked at smaller start-ups and larger multinationals on two continents. I equally enjoy racking my brain to come up with a smart print ad or thinking more non-traditionally.

Today advertising is very different from the industry in which I started. With the advent of AI and other technological innovations, we are learning to talk to consumers in unexpected ways, which is very exciting. Although our messages take on new and exciting forms one thing hasn’t changed: it all starts with a killer idea.
