Make it stand out.
It all begins with an idea.
Here are a few samples of some print ads, logo designs, book covers, TV storyboards, newsletters, and inserts I've worked on either for an agency or as a freelancer. I came up with the concepts, wrote the copy, and designed the layouts. Unfortunately I lost a lot of files to Hurricane Sandy.
My Experience in Advertising and Marketing
I've been working in advertising/marketing since 1992. My first job was as a graphic designer. Then I worked my way up to art director, and then creative director. I'm a savvy idea man, and can create a campaign from brainstorming all the way through to final execution, whether it's print, radio, direct mail, POP, TV or Web. I'm lucky to not only be an artist and illustrator, but also a fairly good copywriter as well. I've worked in just about every capacity (to varying degrees) in the industry, including market research, media planning, ad sales, and account executive work.
Over the years I've worked on scores of accounts, from small to large. Here is a list of some of the accounts I've worked on:
Campbells Soups, Nestle USA, Cadbury/Schweppes, Great American Deli, Hershey's Foods, J & J Snacks, Smuckers, Shasta, Shopco, Tetley USA, Dreamland Amusements, 4 Points Sheraton, Lighthouse Insurance, Long Island Business News, Long Island Press, Maxwell & Dunne Steakhouse, Nike, Papa Joe's Pizza, P.C.
