i’ve been working on wendy’s at vmly&r since 2017, leading a team of 20+ creatives to help wendy’s expand its presence in social and digital, specifically in gaming, gaining the brand and the agency their first cannes grand prix for keeping fortnite fresh in 2019.
the following year, i pushed to expand wendy’s reach in the gaming community, growing the brand’s twitch following to over 100k and earning the coveted partner status, reserved for only the top 1% of all twitch streamers. these efforts led to more success at the following cannes festival, with another gold and silver lion.
additionally, i’ve helped win dozens of other awards at cannes, one show, d&ad, adc, clios, andys and effies... as you can tell from that list above.
before joining vmly&r, i worked on royal caribbean and today’s military at mullenlowe in boston, red bull and honda at kastner, lexus at team one, applebee’s and turkish airlines at cp+b in los angeles, and nintendo at leo burnett in chicago.
and somewhere in the middle of all that, i even started my own little agency with some friends. back in the early 2010s, we cracked the code on “viral” videos for brands (remember those briefs... yikes) and helped the likes of coke, latam air and yahoo (rip) get millions and millions of views and even more in earned media impressions. my favorite one was for nordictrack. here’s the original that turned into such a hit, it was adapted for a performance on america’s got talent.
