Dean F. | Paladin Los Angeles Candidate
Senior Creative Director with Corporate, Not-for-Profit and Agency Experience

Available For:
Long-Term Contracting, Direct-Hire, or Temp-to-Perm

Ideal Position:
My ideal position is either agency or client side, where I can use the experience and background that I have. I would like an opportunity where I can make a difference and make use of my diverse track record. I have experience in large, corporate structures, as well as small boutique- style shops. I can work equally well in either environment, but prefer a culture that is focused on the quality of the work and supporting the value of a team of people.

Past Experience:
I have many years of experience from small boutique shops to large agencies. I started as an Art Director, ACD and ultimately a Creative Director. I have also been a partner in an agency and managed a few ad agencies for others. I've also worked on the client side as a Marketing Director.

Currently:
My last role was VP/Creative Director of an agency that I helped grow from the ground up, building to over $2.5 million/year in billings in its first year. I was involved in new business as well. The agency merged with another company.

I have extensive experience is broadcast, print, direct marketing, outdoor, POP and package design, as well as interactive. I've worked on everything from healthcare to industrial laser drills, from real estate to beauty products, and from automobiles to cellular site leases.
