Senior Vice President, Creative Director
Grey Advertising
(the leaner, meaner, new Grey)
Highlights:
Created the global campaign for GSK Panadol Cold and Flu/Coldrex.
Translated into every language to run in every single continent. Ask me to say
“new and improved” in Mandarin.
2. Created the new “You Don’t Know Aarp” campaign, designed to change the image
and voice of AARP. Soon you will be proud to get and use that card. Seriously.
Created the long-running “Taste the Real Difference” campaign for Sargento
Cheese. Gentine family adopts me as one of their own.
1996- 2009
SVP Group Creative Director
Grey Advertising
Highlights:
Ran one of the three creative groups in “Healthy Grey”
(one of the “villages” in the Grey of that era)
Successfully pitched and launched Cialis, the pharma industry blockbuster. Ask
me why there are not one, but two tubs.
Successfully pitched and launched Lybrel, Wyeth’s global birth control pill.
Paradigm shift: no period. You would think women would embrace but needed
convincing.
Launched Alavert, the allergy medicine that dared to compete with Claritin. I
called it “the little pill that could.”
Brought glamour and baby-boomer power to Polident with long running Florence
Henderson campaign. Mrs. Brady!!!
Extensive Experience in DTC: Botox, Latisse, Actonel, Veramyst,
Flonase, Humalog, Xenical …and on and on
