Profile bio
About Greg Collins
Greg Collins is a freelance copywriter by trade and a creative director by experience. He’s also the co-founder of Overdog, a creative consultancy built to give agencies and brands the unfair advantage of working with top-notch tenured talent.Greg’s sweated the adjectives at great agencies like BBDO, GSD&M, R/GA and TBWA\Chiat\Day, as well as some other amazing ones that don’t go by any founders’ initials whatsoever, including 72&Sunny, Arnold, Cutwater and David&Goliath. Lately, he’s probably best known for his ongoing collaboration with L&C New York as their guest ECD — a prolific partnership born in the cheese aisle of a local supermarket (long story).On the global stage, Greg has earned over 200 global awards, including the Cannes Grand Prix and a Titanium Finalist nod. He has also won numerous Gold, Silver and Bronze Lions, 3 Grand Clios and 44 other Gold, Silver and Bronze Clios, 6 One Show Gold Pencils, the Green One Show Pencil at The One Show and multiple White and Yellow Pencils at D&AD. Outside of advertising, Greg’s work has been nominated for an Emmy, featured in Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas, recognized at the United Nations SDG Summit and archived in the permanent collection at MoMA. He was also three words away from going to the National Spelling Bee as a seventh grader, not that he's still bitter.Off the clock, Greg lives in New York City with a part-time dog and a full-time plant and is often found on a tennis court or wrenching on an old sports car. He's also proud and borderline obnoxious supporter of Manchester United and University of Tennessee athletics.
Listed skills include Creative Direction, Advertising, New Media, Creative Strategy, and 38 others.
