William Mericle Email & Phone Number

I served as the lead creative of Palm + Havas, a boutique agency formed inside Havas reporting directly to the CEO providing digital, social and integrated work for Potbelly, Michelob, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, Fulgor, OfficeMax, Blockbuster, Ursus Vodka

Seized an offer to co-found Chicago office of RPA. Unpacked the copier, bought the popcorn machine, the foosball table and won 5 of 8 pitches while building the office – literally. Created social hoopla by slipping secret messages into textbooks at college bookstores, re-jiggering constructions sites into press-worthy installations and trying to break.

Side hustles including film, video, music and writing projects are developed and produced in association with PizzleCo, whose family of companies includes PizzleCo Persuasion, PizzleCo Ditties, PizzleCo Novelties and Pizzleco Pictures.

I was tapped by Jonathan Harries to help save the Chicago outpost of the famous SF creative boutique. We did – growing from death’s door into a 350 million dollar office. Learned how to pitch business. Learned how agencies grow. Worked with great people. Met my wife. Was part of a small management group negotiating to buy ourselves away from Hal when he.

My first advertising job. Worked on Kellogg’s, Dean Witter, McDonald’s, met Charlie the Tuna, won at Cannes and convinced Tony the Tiger to record my voice mail message. By the time I left, I was a Creative Director, running a group that included 7UP, Diet 7UP, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes.
