There are plenty of others who are better than me at this.
Or so I tend to believe.
Because what makes you great in this business is not luxuriating in your own successes, but using the successes of others to push you to do even better.
That said, I’ve done a few things that have made me proud and my clients extremely happy. And since you’re here, I should probably mention them to you now…
For nine years I’ve helped build the Honda brand.
From Super Bowl ads to retail programs. Social good campaigns to VR experiences.
During this time Honda has continuously reached record sales, while being outspent 2-to-1 by Toyota.
.
I developed the Apple “Get a Mac” campaign.
It was declared Campaign of the Decade by AdWeek and Ad Age’s Top 15 Campaigns of the Century.
.
I was selected by AdWeek as one of the Top 30 Creative Directors in the country.
Recently, I was selected by Campaign US for their 40 Over 40 Top Digital Creatives list.
.
I’ve won the Cannes Gold Lion in Film, Branded Content and Entertainment, Cyber, Design and Health.
I’ve also won a Grand Effie.
.
I developed the first-ever animated film series for pediatric cancer patients.
The 23 films have been translated into 13 languages in being used in 5 countries.
.
I’ve spoken at Cannes, SXSW twice and had a Tedx Talk recently postponed due to COVID-19. Cursed virus.
.
I have been honored by both my college alma maters.
I am on the executive board at UCLA, and I received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Academy of Art University.
