During my decade at Energy BBDO I worked across nearly every account on their roster. For the majority of my time I was a Creative Director on their Wrigley brands, including but not limited to Orbit, 5 gum, and Lifesavers. While their I was recognized professionally for the quality of my work with awards from Cannes Lion, One Show, The Effies, and several others. I can't say enough good about the fine agency that is and was Energy BBDO.

While at Y&R I was a senior copywriter working on the Land Rover and Jaguar accounts. My responsibilities were mainly with national broadcast advertising but also included print and online executions.
This was my first position out of graduate school and what a fantastic way to start out in the advertising business. Richmond is a wonderful city, by the way. You should all visit. And say hello to the fine folks at the various coffee shops and bookstores around the Martin Agency.
