Hi, I’m Kevin. And I’m a creative leader.
Over the last three decades, I’ve built some of the most successful creative teams in the industry for some of the most iconic brands in the world. As Executive Creative Director of LinkedIn, my team was named the AdAge In-House Agency of the Year and made their Best Places to Work list two years running. My team at Apple was recognized by Cannes, The One Show, and D&AD. And I was named to Campaign’s 40 over 40 list.
My transformation from creative to creative leader wasn't easy. There are a lot of places and people who will teach you how to be a creative. But nobody takes the time to tell you what to do if you get good at it and they put you in charge of other creatives.
That’s where I come in.
I believe the key to making great creative work is great creative leadership. And I can help your team make the work you envision in these ways:
Leading Projects – I’m a CD, an ECD, and a CCO. I’ve worked brand side and agency side. And I bring empathy and experience to both sides of the process.
Speaking and Workshops – I’ve spoken on stages, panels, and podcasts. I’ve taught university classes. I know my way around a soapbox, and love to share my perspective on giving feedback, building teams and culture, and strengthening relationships.
Coaching and Mentoring – A creative leader’s main job is to help their teams be more successful. I can work one-to-one with you or your team to help them identify and reach their goals.
In case you couldn’t tell, I have a lot to say about leading creative teams. Enough, it turned out, to write a book.
