Why I Love My Job
Presented at The One Club’s Creative Week
Just nine days before my wedding I led a summit at Creative Week in NYC titled Redefining Inclusion and Mental Health in Social Media to advocate for Mental Health Awareness within the advertising industry. The summit panelists included Doug Melville (Chief Diversity Officer of TBWA), Allison Raskin (New York Times bestselling author and mental health influencer), Lee Chernotsky (Founder of ROSIES Foundation), and Elle Ginter (Director who gives voice to the voiceless). The session was a favorite of the week and covered by Adweek in the article “Why More Companies Should Offer Mental Health Days, and Why Coworkers Should Respect Them“ which led to implementing Mental Health Days within the industry.
"No Format" Global Competition
My partner, Mars, and I spent a week in Mexico City competing against TBWA’s top 20 creative teams from around the globe on12 briefs in 6 days. One of our campaigns made it to the final five (even with food poisoning).
Toured Mike Perry’s Studio
I’ve been following Mike Perry’s work for almost a decade and even started watching Broad City (my favorite show) because of work that later won him an Emmy. I finally got to work with him on our Eventbrite campaign to create his most detailed illustration to date - a hand-painted mural depicting 150 unique events and Brooklyn easter eggs painted on the side of House Of Yes in Bushwick.
Helped Build Something
I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the most talented people in the industry and help each agency I’ve worked at grow. After a year on the pitch team at TBWA\Chiat\Day NY and 7 big wins in a row our office grew from under 100 employees to over 300 in a single year. I feel equally proud to be one of the first Creative Teams to join Giant Spoon and part of a company that was voted #3 on Ad Age’s 2019 A-LIST and included on FastCo’s list of Most Innovative Companies for 2019 and 2020.
