In my own words

— Ross

Associate Creative Director/Senior Copywriter with over a decade of experience in advertising, marketing, and the outdoors.

A creative storyteller and collaborative problem solver constantly leveraging verbal, literary, and graphic skills to move the needle for clients. Professionally outgoing, hardworking, and determined, with a proven ability to self-manage and lead in a team setting. TLDR: I'm the guy you want to work and snowboard with. Portfolio: www.rossbcreative.com "Ross is legit. He’s an ambitious, dedicated, and insightful creative. He holds himself and his craft to incredibly high standards. From big picture ideas to taglines, to trend-worthy tweets, to new business pitches, my team and I knew we could count on Ross to deliver above and beyond. Ross is a pleasure to work with and was a true asset to my team. Disclaimer: I debated having him proofread this review, he’s that good!" - Karen Hart, VP of Creative & Production at Reach Agency
