Scott Service ( t h a t ’ s m y n a m e )
I am a professional, with over 25 years of demonstrated experience in advertising, art direction,
design and account management. I bring advertising and design communications expertise
while bridging the chasm between creativity and outstanding people skills.

I manage all aspects of a full-service photo studio providing traditional and digital
photography to a variety of clients. Working in the studio and on location, tasks
include concept, location / model selection, propping, styling, production
management, lighting, shooting and retouching. Because of my lifelong work
in photography — and my experience art directing some of the nation’s leading
photographers and filmmakers — I am competent at shooting fashion, lifestyle,
product, tabletop and architectural subject matters. Photography clients include:
Albertsons Grocery Stores, The Vail / Beaver Creek Catalogue, The Squash
Blossom, The Cable Center and Aviation Technology Group.

I founded and managed all aspects of this full-service advertising agency with
billings that ranged from $1 million to $2 million annually. We produced
multimedia campaigns — including radio, television, websites, packaging, corporate
identity and print materials to promote products and services to consumers and
businesses. Responsibilities included selling agency work to clients; creating
concepts and strategies for campaigns; and managing art directors, designers,
copywriters, photographers, video and film directors, production people, printers,
mail houses and other vendor relationships. Scott Service Advertising received its
share of awards, including The Cable Television Award in Marketing CTAM Mark
Award in 1992 and 1994, and it was a CTAM finalist in 1993 and 1994. Clients
included HBO, Leprino Foods, Liberty Media, AT&T, The Adolph Coors Company,
Jones Intercable, TCI, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable. Scott Service Advertising
retained relationships with many of its clients for more than 18 years.

I was happy to accept a creative position that would bring me back to Colorado, and
Coors was famous throughout the Midwest as the beer we couldn’t buy. Here I
managed a creative group of roughly 8 people while overseeing multiple projects.
I was responsible for consumer and trade, print, point-of-sale materials, corporate
identity, packaging design, uniform programs, annual reports, truck design, signage,
and new product development. Under my management, we launched iconic new
products such as Herman Joseph’s, George Killian’s and Rocky Mountain Sparkling
Water. Simultaneously, we redesigned Coors Light and Coors Premium brands.
Awards included The Edison Award for Successful New Products, New York Art
Directors Club Award, New York Society of Illustrators Award, Denver Art
Directors Club Awards and Communications Excellence for Black Audiences
Awards (CEBA).
1976 - 1979 Art Director – J. Walter Thompson, Chicago, IL
My first job after receiving a bachelor’s degree in advertising and design offered the
opportunity to create ad campaigns for 7up and Sugar Free 7up, as well as Kraft,
Sears, McDonnell Douglass, Jovan, Gillette and The Chicago Economic
Development Commission. I also conceived and produced TV and radio spots, print
and point-of-sale materials, as well as package design and implementation.
