The shape of it

Soda & Lime was the chapter where I learned what creative leadership costs and earns: helping build the shop as a partner, winning the work, hiring the team, and being accountable for every deliverable that left the building.

As executive creative director, I owned the creative for everything that ran through the agency. The campaigns ran across more than $12M in media spend and generated over a billion social impressions. The lesson that survived the agency: taste is a system, not a moment, and it has to hold at volume.
