A track record of creatively solving difficult advertising and marketing problems.

​

Using diverse creative marketing skills and disciplines, Neil has helped launch new brands to $140 million in sales,

revitalized old brands, and won new business pitches and creative awards. 

All while making time to teach creative advertising evening classes at the School of Visual Arts.

​

 

On the business side, success lies in creative collaboration, understanding the client’s business,

focusing on the brand and consumer insights, and finding the most effective creative ways to engage

the target audience across all consumer touchpoints.

Projects range from Fortune 500 companies to five-person startups.

​

On the education side, my goal is to help students grow their creative abilities in

art direction, copywriting, and strategic thinking in ways that align with the evolving needs of the advertising industry

and help them begin or complete their advertising portfolios.
