| Jason Kreher - Creative Director |
Jason is
a Snellville, Georgia-born Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy, overseeing
work for clients such as Verizon, Weight Watchers, KFC and Old Spice Social
Media. Prior to becoming a CD, Kreher worked as a copywriter on Old Spice,
Target, Coca-Cola, Heineken, Jaguar, Howard Stern, and MTV. He also tells
people he wrote the iconic Elizabeth Taylor “White Diamonds” commercial,
even though he was only twelve at the time of its first broadcast airing.
He has won 12 Lions at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity over the
years, including Gold Lions in each of the past two years. Last year he was
listed in AdWeek’s “The Creative 100,” a list of America’s most inventive
talent in marketing, media and tech.
Kreher recently published his first
book along with art director Matt Moore; a collection of cruel Popsicle
stick jokes named “SchadenFreezers” that you should go buy right now, it’s
not even that expensive. His “Napkin Notebook” with former partner Dave
Arnold was featured in the MoMA Design Store. Kreher also directed and
co-wrote a series of YouTube videos with standup comedian Maria Bamford.
Kreher is a 2001 advertising graduate of the
Grady College. He currently lives in Portland with his husband Eirik.

| Tatum Shaw - Freelance Copywriter and Photographer |
Tatum is a freelance copywriter based in
Portland, OR. In a previous life he was a writer at Wieden + Kennedy from
2004 to 2012, where he created work for clients such as Nike, Coca-Cola,
Target, Starbucks, and Proctor and Gamble. Now he primarily writes top-secret
ads for Apple, and occasionally dances with the likes of MTV, Google, 72and
Sunny, Facebook, and Deutsche LA.
Tatum graduated from The University of Georgia in
2002, with a BA in advertising and a minor in stuff he can’t talk about here
because faculty is reading. In an effort to avoid making any major life
decisions, he enrolled in school again, this time at The Creative Circus in
Atlanta. A school name any parent can be proud of. Visually inclined by nature,
he had dreams of becoming an art director. But guess what? He was colorblind
(thanks, God). So he enrolled in the copywriting program, graduated and got is
first job at Wieden + Kennedy working under the silent ad sensei, Hal Curtis.
When he’s not writing ads, he spends his time
making art books and taking photographs, some of which can be seen online at Complex,
Juxtapoz, and This Isn’t Happiness, and in the printed pages of Nylon
Magazine, Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Oxford American.

where he spent an inordinate

amount of time shooting free throws. Mike
graduated magna cum laude from the Grady College of Journalism at the
University of Georgia. After a year as a bumbling account coordinator at an
agency in Tallahassee, Florida, he quit and went to the Creative Circus before
his boss could figure out he was terrible at his job (Sorry, Richard).
Mike restarted his career in advertising at
vitrorobertson in San Diego before landing a gig at the Wieden + Kennedy
mothership in Portland, Oregon. Somehow
he’s managed to trick those beautiful suckers into employing him as a
copywriter on the Dodge, Chrysler, Booking.com and Samsung accounts for almost
six years. Although, he’s recently noticed that his key card has stopped
working and, truth be told, he’s a bit nervous about it.
