Showcase & Discover Creative Work

Tom Christmann’s passion for social media (go ahead, poke him on Facebook, we’ll wait…) combined with his ability to find the Big Idea and tell a brand story have led him to work at some of the best agencies in New York, most recently as an ECD on Stride, Trident, Halls and Bloomberg at JWT.

Prior to JWT, Tom was ECD at Cliff Freeman & Partners, where he helped to bring Cliff’s unique brand of impactful storytelling into the twenty-first century on brands like Quiznos and Baskin Robbins. He also helped create a Favorite-Website-Award-winning website (http://www.cfpnyc.com) for an agency that wasn’t known for its digital chops.

Before joining Cliff, Tom worked at Taxi, helping to establish the Canadian agency’s much-less-Canadian New York City office. As Creative Director there, he helped build entirely new integrated campaigns for Amp’d Mobile, Blue Shield of California, Molson Canadian beer and the Versus television network.

Tom was lucky enough to work directly with some of advertising’s biggest names – including David Lubars and Eric Silver – on some of the world’s biggest brands (FedEx, Ebay, Guinness, Red Stripe and AOL to name a few) as a Creative Director at BBDO. Tom credits his six years at Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners in New York – as well as his first job in advertising at Ogilvy & Mather Direct – with giving him an appreciation for proven results and new technologies. He also once rode an elevator alone with David Ogilvy.

Tom has won Lions, Pencils, Andys, Addys, Effies, Clios, the aforementioned FWA and several games of Lexulous on Facebook. He blogs at http://tchristmann.posterous.com. And you can also follow him at http://www.twitter.com/tchristmann. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and two sons. Read Less
