Carlos Ricque, Executive Creative Director

My first gig in advertising was writing tray liner copy for a fast food restaurant. I stayed anyway. Since then, I’ve worked on award-winning ad campaigns for clients like Coca-Cola, Cingular Wireless, Delta Airlines, Panama Tourism, and Verizon Wireless.

Over the years, I’ve led departments, developed campaigns, won accounts, and worked with lots of really smart people. I’m still here because I love that feeling of trying to figure out the answer to an uncrackable puzzle.
