I’m the Founder, CEO and Creative Lead.
I finally stopped working for others and launched SKINNY. Why now? Because the value of creativity is being downplayed by many medium-to-large agencies. While there are business reasons for this, the result negatively impacts their clients. That realization is why now is the perfect time for SKINNY. Over the past decade as a Chief Creative Officer, I’ve honed a unique skillset—a deep understanding of both client business needs and innovative creative solutions. I obsess over KPIs, data, audience targeting, trends, TikTok, AI, CRM, SEO, SEM, UX/UI, and production quality. This balance of business acumen and cutting-edge creativity is SKINNY’s superpower. My mission is to help ambitious brands that the world needs thrive by delivering the same transformative results I’ve achieved throughout my career. SKINNY is here to redefine what creativity means for modern businesses—and I can’t wait to get started.

Here are a few of my standout creative achievements that have driven economic growth and transformation.

•Captured hearts and minds by showcasing Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell's everyday life drama, all while using Samsung products to drive connection and engagement.

•Re-launched Crocs in the U.S. through social and content strategy, transforming it from a hated brand into a strength, fueling record-breaking growth for 10 years.

•Re-introduced Mentos, the quirky European candy to the US, and launched Mentos Pure Fresh Gum in the U.S making it the category leader within two year.

•Revitalized Tylenol, one of America’s oldest brands, with the "Tylenol, Feel Better" content platform, enhancing its emotional connection with consumers.

•Created the memorable, award-winning IKEA campaign tied to President Obama’s election, capturing cultural relevance and boosting brand impact during a historic moment.
•Created the iconic, award-winning "It’s All About The Beer" campaign for Heineken, making beer drinkers proudly proclaim its truth and boosting brand loyalty.

•Developed the groundbreaking integrated campaign that introduced JetBlue to the U.S., revolutionizing the airline industry and attracting loyal customers.

•Introduced Stride Gum from Cadbury, quickly making it the fastest-growing chewing gum in the U.S., with ~$100MM in sales during its first year on the market.

•Launched TiVo and successfully turned it into a verb, "TiVo it," making the brand synonymous with recording TV and revolutionizing home entertainment.

•Created the infamous, “What the hell is ANSKY?” campaign for the New York Yankees sponsorship. The campaign was selected as one of the campaigns of the decade by Adweek.
"I can guarantee you—no one with an MBA was ever taught creativity. It's not something you learn in a classroom; it's an instinct."

Since falling in love with advertising while running the marketing and advertising for a small Mexican restaurant in college, I learned a thing or two about brands. 
First, nothing is more powerful than an insightful and relevant strategy that’s executed beautifully. It’s the foundation of great communication which changes perceptions, creates loyalty and makes your brand famous.
Second, that the process to create work doesn’t have to be hard — with the right people, building a brand moves fast, is fun and feels great. It creates a vibe that builds strong partnerships. The same kind of vibe I have working with Peter for so many years, it’s what makes me excited to work every day.
I've had over 25 years of success, with work recognized by my colleagues for effectiveness, creativity and innovation. But, my greatest accomplishment was leading the creation of a campaign so successful, it had to stop running within three months. That brand is worth over $80 billion today, so it was worth the wait.
When I am not writing about myself in the first person, you’ll find me cooking or enjoying time at the beach with my beautiful family.
"I teach advertising at Temple University because I don't feel like the industry instills a respect for the craft of advertising or the fundamentals of branding in young talent. Even though I don't have an MBA."
