Great Minds...Share
Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 5:06PM Leadership comes with a fundamental responsibility – to help guide the next generation of great minds. We take this responsibility quite seriously, and it’s easy to find examples of our commitment within our many employees and across our various offices.
We have practicing university faculty, countless industry association members, professional organization leaders, alumni supporters, volunteers, mentors – you get the idea.
With such an inherent dedication to shaping tomorrow’s leaders, it was pretty much impossible for ND&P Chief Creative Officer John Griessmayer to turn down an opportunity to corrupt (make that GUIDE) future advertising creative professionals.
AD2 Roanoke, an affiliate of the American Advertising Federation, is a non-profit organization of advertising professionals aged 32 and younger. So when they asked John for an interview focusing on “Career ADvice,” he jumped.
Amidst pearls of wisdom such as “nobody wants to see your charcoal drawings from art class” and “something can always be smarter, quicker or simpler,” John describes a dream collaboration team that includes the likes of a sarcastic talking cat, Paul Bunyan, a fry cook, a genetic hybrid of Peyton Manning and Derek Jeter, and a robot Heather Locklear.
Let’s just say John’s irreverent sense of humor hides a diabolic creative mastermind, and we’re glad he’s on our side.
