Strategic Planner - Wieden+Kennedy (Feb 2016-Present)
Adam is a strategic planner with a Ph.D in Philosophy. His education & research focused on critical theory & mass culture, specifically concerning aesthetically-defined subcultures and the establishment of identity.
My decade-plus spent teaching undergraduates at public Universities, private colleges and art schools gifted me exceptional research skills, finely-tuned critical thinking abilities, and unique rhetorical chops. My years in the world of music - from squats in Copenhagen to clubs in Las Vegas - have made me highly skilled at reading rooms and understanding how to communicate with people from all walks of life.
I am also a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and spent about 7 years as a competitive amateur boxer. So I know how to fight through difficulty and solve problems in real time.
I specialize in the distillation of essential and actionable insights from the blooming, buzzing confusion of culture and media.
