Over a decade of experience has taught me that getting the opportunity to do work that combines a strong strategy with stellar design to shift consumers’ perceptions and create business solutions is what advertising is really all about. It’s easy to make things that look good, but what’s truly rewarding is being able to make good lookin’ things that make a difference. And if puppies somehow end up in that work, then all the better.
