Experience

  1. VP Creative Director

    Empower Media

    Jun 2021 — Present

    Trained in entertainment and traditional creative, but had my perspective altered by working in media. Now \"it is funny?\" gets paired with \"does it work?\" and \"does it have scale and reach?\" Quick-turn production and trend-based relevance are my new bread and butter (toast and avocado?) Want more keyword-heavy detail? Here you go: One Show-shortlisted Writer/Creative Director who works the heartstrings and funny bones to get attention for brands. With award-winning success in broadcast TV, radio, print, and all things digital, video, interactive and social, he’s a big-idea factory who\'s comfortable thinking outside any box or within any budget. Spanning nearly two decades in the entertainment and advertising industries, TD is a member of the Screenwriter’s Guild of America and a former staff writer for the #1 comedy on TV. His advertising work has been recognized by Comm Arts, AdAge, The FWA, AgencySpy, Archive, Creativity International Awards, USA Today as well as Spike TV’s “Funniest Commercials of the Year” and on “Real Time with Bill Maher.” He was a finalist for the Disney Fellowship, NBC Playground, and Radio Mercury Awards. Clients include P&G, Wendy’s, American Standard, American Greetings, Tim Hortons, Dannon, White Castle, Western & Southern, The Ohio Lottery, and The Joanie Bernard Foundation. His excellence in scripting/joke writing and broadcast advertising merge perfectly in Empower’s quick-turn, trend-inspired CultureTap creative. He’s helped clients from regional chili parlors to national paint suppliers launch brand presence in new social platforms and find the modern relevance so vital to today’s consumer.
