My Work from Europe

I worked for Y&R in Switzerland for two years. I was based in Geneva, but collaborated with Y&R’s offices in London, Brussels, Paris, Milan and Vienna to round out campaigns and win new business.

I helped build classic brands like Nestlé Purina, Alfa Romeo, Caterpillar, and Adobe. I also helped develop some quintessentially Swiss brands including two luxury watches, a private bank, Lindt chocolates, and the World Economic Forum. I never did get to work on a ski resort.

When I returned to the States, portfolio students and collogues asked me how they could follow in my Alpine footsteps. So I published a free ebook on getting a job overseas. You can download it here. I’ve also given presentations on European advertising. You can watch one of them here.

My time in Europe made me a stronger creative thinker, a more agile and collaborative manager, and a much better skier.
