My first boss at BBDO on the Gillette account.

most proud of?
Besides my wedding and marrying Scott….my first promotion!

this business?
Replying to all on an email at Gillette International calling an entire
country dumb…when I just meant to CC my friend at work. 

Is there a great client story you’d care to share?
Paparazzi snuck into our commercial shoot in an L.A. home by
hiding in a big tree and started snapping shots of the famous
models on our set and ended up putting an article in London
magazines about the commercial. The client was very happy
about the free publicity!! But the models were not.

What attracted you to Gearon Hoffman?
The people.

Do you have a method for coming up with ideas and

Keep on excelling and growing in my position, eventually

What's the most important thing you've learned
about advertising?
“No” is not in the account management vocabulary.

After? Does it end?

Is there any food that helps you think more creatively?
Coffee, maybe not creatively, but helps me think clearly.

Red Sox….come on!

Do you have any pets?
Not into animals. Dirt and pets are not my thing...maybe I will
get a fish.

What was growing up like for you?
