About John Long

No matter how many things change in our business, creativity is the one constant--the thing that makes an emotional impact, that forges connections between people and brands and inspires them to act.Throughout my career, I've been lucky to partner with many talented creatives and brave clients, and along the way, done the work and led that work that has earned dozens of international industry awards and gotten noticed in places like The New York Times, Wired, and the BBC. I've written about creativity and the advertising industry for The Drum, Campaign, Adweek, Columbia Journalism Review, and McSweeney’s, and I'm an associate member of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. I'm a second-generation ad guy, a failed, classically-trained musician, and I live in Bedford, New York with my wife, our two sons, and a treat-addicted beagle named Twix.Thanks for stopping by. Industry networking welcome.
