Adam has built a stellar reputation locally and nationally over his 25-plus-year career as an award-winning creative director and writer. He specializes in emotional work that’s difficult to ignore, and believes this level of creativity is only possible by uncovering genuine insights into the audience.

He was most recently creative director and senior vice president at Capstrat in Raleigh, where he oversaw creative work for a client list that included Blue Cross & Blue Shield of North Carolina, Red Hat software, Epic Games and NC Ports. Before that, he founded Distill, one of North Carolina’s most highly acclaimed creative boutiques, and spent time on the West Coast helping shape brands such as Bank of America, Taco Bell, Microsoft, Levi’s, McDonald’s and Apple Computer.

His work has been recognized by virtually every major creative organization, including The New York Art Directors Show, the CLIO Awards, Graphis, Creativity, The One Club, PRINT and ADDYs. Adam’s other creative ventures include syndication of his daily comic strip, developing an animated TV pilot for Cartoon Network and working as a standup comedian.
