We've all heard the old saw about there being "no substitute for experience".

Certainly experience is a good teacher, and the Market Ninja has his share:

• 5 years as a Creative Director at a multinational ad agency

• 8 Years as head of his own full-service ad agency

• 8 Years in freelance creative and marketing services

Prior to discovering his niche in advertising creative, your friendly Ninja also garnered a wealth of experience in other disciplines, including aircraft assembly mechanic, pro musician, carpet layer, infantryman, military cook, farming, metalworker, shipping clerk, Art Deco store owner, salesman, metal plater, and others.

This breadth of experience is perfect grist for the creative mill, since it provides a way to synthesize innovative solutions within the bubbling cauldron that dwells between Market Ninja's ears. The creative spark found in good advertising and communications solutions usually comes from finding a surprising way to communicate the message...tying disparate concepts together in a meaningful way.

In Creative, everything you've ever read or done is an asset.
