Pharma, medical devices and lifesciences technology

1. Art director, consumer advertising agencies in New York. Good. 2. Copywriter, consumer advertising. Great.3. Creative director, consumer, OTC and pharma advertising. Loved it. 4. Creative director, pharma. Okay. A whole lotta presentations, though. 5. Executive creative director, pharma. Meh. High-drama staffers, endless meetings, and a CFO with a baseball bat.6. Freelancing. The best. For a brief resumé, click here.

Been there, still doing that.
