Hey I’m Colleen, an advertising agent based in LA.
I’m going to be professional now and switch to the third person.
Over the last eleven years, Colleen has crafted visually-interesting-award-winning solutions for her clients. At global agencies and small startups. For brands big and small. She helped DoorDash sell flowers for men, pulled off an international test drive for Audi, offered threesomes for Valentine’s Day, transformed MLS jersey numbers into discounts, launched a chicken wing for Latto, created a card game making fun of the Cannes lions she won, and crafted some truly annoying jingles for which she would like to apologize.
Back to the first person.
When I’m not working, I love riding my motorcycle, walking around LA, and having bonfires with friends. I read the newspaper and smoke cigars and fondly remember childhood before the iPhone. I also enjoy fly fishing with my black labrador, which makes me an old man stuck in a millennial woman’s body.
