Kevin M. John. The ‘M’ stands for Michael. Yep thats right, three first names.
I am a brand director who likes making wild, crazy, and weird things to help solve business problems.
I have worked with brands like Electronic Arts, Xbox, IHOP, Apple TV+, Empower, Fifth Third Bank, Yahoo, AdCouncil, Rakuten, and the NFL Network.
Grew up in Austin Texas. Lived in Guam for a bit while I was a kid. Went to college in Boulder.
Skills include dialing into conference lines, entertaining people at dinner, picking up the bill, but also things like…. managing deadlines, budgets, creative teams, production teams, strategy teams, scopes, new business pitches, and a lot of other stuff.
Even though I am an account person, my favorite part of my job is production. I have worked on tons of different types of spots including CGI, game capture, live-action, found footage, animation, and even spots with puppets. I have also worked on a lot of cool digital and experiential executions.
Beyond advertising, I love cooking, making cocktails, pouring wine for friends, and hanging with my wife Suzy, and our dog Eko.
That’s me. Have a great night.
