Hello, I'm Larry Clark.

A Creative Director with 11-plus years experience of not only creating excellence, but inspiring it in others as well. I continue to successfully adapt and evolve as our industry does, consistently delivering big ideas and producing high quality, award-winning work across all channels.

I've had the pleasure of creating work for some of the nation's largest brands, such as The Coca-Cola Company, The Home Depot and Napa Auto Parts, and a few you’ve yet to hear of.

I have excellent work ethic and character. As a decorated combat veteran I've learned a few things like duty, honor and service. I know how to work well under pressure, handle adversity and work as a team. Read Less

Art Director/ Clarke Advertising & Public Relations
June 2001 – December 2003

I got my start in the ad biz before I graduated ad school, not as an intern, but as an Art Director. I carried a full course load and worked as an Art Director for Clarke Advertising--funny coincidence, but no relation. I would learn more in one day at Clarke than I would in weeks at school. My experience at Clarke really helped accelerate my career.

As an art director I was responsible for working on a variety of media including print, collateral, broadcast and web. I developed a very keen eye for design and my conceptual skills grew stronger with every day and soon I became the preferred art director for projects at Clarke and began to rack up a great deal of local ad-hardware (awards).
