Hey

As you can see from the prominent header, my name is Aaron Cunningham. And just like the little letters below it say: I am a creative director / copywriter, meaning I come up with creative concepts and words (the latter being more or less creative, often dependent on character count). But if you didn’t know what those titles meant, you are more than likely a member of my family and not a recruiter or fellow creative (Hi, mom and dad! I don’t really know what you do either). I have over 12 years of experience in the advertising industry and a Master’s in Advertising from University of Texas at Austin. The MA was incidental as I was really there for the portfolio program, but as an added bonus, I understand what the rest of an agency does slightly better than the average creative (except for media and their spreadsheets - I don’t want to understand any more than I have to about those).

Anyway, if you want to chat about jobs and whatnot, email me at cunningron@gmail.com or check out my LinkedIn page.
