most call him ian,
some CALL HIM TODD.
A man of two first names, Ian Todd is an ACD Art Director who prides himself on being a conceptual thinker, designer, mentor and part-time director (when the budget runs drier than Littleton, Maine). Currently based in NYC, he manages the USGA and Roundup accounts, leads multiple teams across traditional and social, while also throwing in on Knorr, Invesco, new business and whatever else he can fit into the remaining hours of the day.
Born with an unhealthy work habit, Ian (or Todd) spent his early years splitting time between the corn fields of Iowa and the coastal shores of Maine, where he spent the mornings hauling lobster traps and the evenings doling them out to the likes Canadian tourists, part-time locals, George Bush Senior and occasionally Christian Bale (okay, maybe just once).
Before New York, he spent 8 years in Boston working on brands such as JetBlue, Degree/Rexona global, Century 21, The Boston Globe, Burger King, KFC, Kevlar, Royal Caribbean and many more.
Post ad school, he cut his teeth at 180LA, working on Boost Mobile, Mitsubishi, Expedia and new biz, learning from some of the industry’s best.
Feel free to drop him a line at hello@iantoddad.com or connect with him on LinkedIn. He promises he won’t talk in third person. And if for some reason you’ve landed here from across the pond, he has both U.S. and U.K. citizenship.
