Mark Mendelis - Award-winning creative director

 
 
 

WHO IS THIS GUY ANYWAY?

For 20+ years (wait, that can’t be right), I’ve worked as a creative director and copywriter at some of the best agencies in America, helping companies crack their marketing challenges and grow their brands.

It’s never easy, but I enjoy the challenge. I’ve also been fortunate to work with some very talented people, both on the agency and client sides.

While I’m not one to brag, I’ve won the major industry awards, including The One Show, Communication Arts, Effie, Cannes Lion, ADDY, Clio, London International, Hatch, Graphis, and MoMA.

Most of all, though, I love collaborating with smart agencies and clients. And if, like me, they share a work hard/play hard mentality, all the better. I find that usually leads to the best ideas.

My wife and I and our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel split our time between NYC and the Hudson Valley (Saugerties, NY to be exact).
