John Gavin Gilbert
Big ideas open big doors.
While we live in an era of big data, big analytics, and big AI potential—and those are all incredibly valuable tools—the fact remains that big ideas are informed by data and technology, not formed by them.
Creativity is the rocket fuel of big ideas, whether it’s new media, traditional, or something that might not even count as media.
For example, creating the world's first Twitter-activated beer tap. Or redefining tuna from a comfort food into a healthy, portable snack. It's challenging people to rethink where they stand on organ donation by literally changing where they stand, and inventing digital tools that reduce teen DUI casualties.
I’ve earned a One Show Gold Pencil, an Effie, a Bronze Clio, a Graphis Silver Award, some Tellys, and more than 150 local, regional, and national Addy Awards. My work’s been featured in Adweek, Creativity, Luerzer’s Archive, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and The Wall Street Journal. What this all means is I’m internationally recognized for both creativity and effectiveness.
So if you need to open some big doors, give me a shout and we’ll unlock something great together.
