Michael Aimette Email & Phone Number

Michael is the Co-CCO of FCB New York where he and Gabriel Schmitt are responsible for all creative and for keeping the FCB global promise of Never Finished platforms thriving here in New York. Formerly at BBDO NY, he was responsible for the transformation of the GE brand around the world, melding seamless storytelling and big platform ideas into business-changing solutions for the global giant. Which sounds fancy. But basically, his job was to take a super-complex company and simplify it down to something that even he could understand. Similarly, on Visa, Michael led a 26-interoffice agency group, including Almap, AMV, Colenso, Clemenger and Saatchi & Saatchi London, where he oversaw and collaborated on all Visa creative.At BBDO NY, Michael has worked over the past 8 years to create a singular culture, a micro-agency within the larger BBDO agency model, where his 35+ person group was entrusted to make wildly creative and equally effective work for those aforementioned clients, as well as for KIND Snacks, American Family Insurance and Belvedere vodka. Furthermore, Michael has contributed and led work for Mars brands such as Snickers and M&M's, AT&T, FedEx and more - and most recently co-led BBDO’s global Ford win. Before that, he worked at BBDO during three different stints between 1995 and today, was ECD at atmosphereBBDO and has freelanced all over NYC. Before that, he was a copywriter at the now-defunct Jordan/McGrath. Before that, he was a dishwasher at Friendly’s. He's had the good fortune to win every award in the business multiple times: Cannes, One Show, D&AD, AICP, Webbys, Clios, Effies and was even Emmy-nominated for his GE TV spot "Childlike Imagination." Additionally, he's served on multiple global creative juries. He’d like to point out that you can’t vote for your own stuff. In 2010, he wrote and directed an independent feature film titled TURNING GREEN starring Oscar-winner Timothy Hutton. The film received theatrical distribution and was featured on Showtime, as well as all streaming outlets. His second feature film, titled MIX26, is currently in pre-production. Michael intends to be survived by his beautiful wife, Jessica, and his two lovely children, Juliet and William. He thinks he’ll probably outlive his dog. *and likely some places you don’t.
