Meet Dan.
Sometimes, people
call him James.
That’s because he has an identical twin who stole his DNA.
James isn’t in advertising. But Dan is. And he’s an award-winning Creative Director, Art Director, with over 17 years experience at some of the top advertising agencies and networks. He’s worked in big markets like Los Angeles, where he cranked away on Apple at TBWA's Media Arts Lab, and small markets like Vancouver, where he helped startups win national accounts. Regardless the size of a project, Dan believes in big ideas over big budgets, the power of simplicity, and and the relentless pursuit of "can it be better?". When Dan isn’t overthinking something at work, he is usually being a silly “chicken-booty-underwear” with his two young kids.
Dan’s email is very on brief —> danbache@gmail.com
