About

I'm a writer covering creativity in business, particularly the advertising space. After graduating from Washington University in St. Louis, I joined Adweek in 1997 (initially as a copy editor), started writing for the magazine in '99 (my first proper story was about Guinness "Surfer" in April '99), and launched the AdFreak blog in 2004. I then left to pursue a freelance career, notably as a writer for People magazine and other Time Inc. titles, before returning to Adweek full time as creative editor in 2010. In 2018, I joined the Clio Awards, where I launched Muse by Clio, a daily site and newsletter about creativity, and Tagline, a podcast that goes deep into the making of great ad campaigns. As of January 2023, I am Creativity editor at Ad Age. I'm a believer that editorial coverage of advertising should be as colorful, playful and entertaining as the industry itself, and I deliver on that approach across platforms.
