About Laura Canzano

As an Associate Creative Director at GSD & M, I lead the creative team for Stanley 1913, managing the TikTok team and overseeing campaigns that have received international recognition. I was part of the team that responded to a viral video of a car fire, earning a Silver Lion in Strategy and two Webby Awards. I also launched a new line of soft-coolers during SXSW 2024, organizing pop-up influencer picnics across the city.In addition to my role at GSD & M, I am an instructor at Denver Ad School, teaching campaign development to 4th and 5th quarter students. I am also the co-founder of BreakingAD, a platform that shares insights and tips on the advertising industry with junior creatives on Instagram. My passion is to help others learn and grow in the field of advertising, while creating innovative and impactful campaigns that resonate with diverse audiences.
