Tom Christmann
Tom Christmann makes creative that goes social.
Tom Christmann's passion for social media combined with his ability to find the Big Idea and tell a brand story have led him to work at some of the best agencies in New York. Most recently, he was the ECD on Cadbury (Kraft) and Bloomberg at JWT. But that all changed in 2011, when Tom ventured out on his own and began freelancing for the first time ever. Inspired by the freedom, Tom made it official, creating Mongo Industries, a coalition of freethinking marketing professionals. Or, as Tom calls it, "a strike force for awesomeness in brand communications." Prior to JWT, Tom was ECD at Cliff Freeman & Partners, where he helped to bring Cliff's unique brand of impactful storytelling into the twenty-first century on brands like Quiznos and Baskin Robbins. He also helped create a Favorite-Website-Award-winning website for an agency that wasn't known for its digital chops. Before joining Cliff, Tom worked at Taxi, helping to establish the Canadian agency's much-less-Canadian New York City office. As Creative Director there, he helped build entirely new integrated campaigns for Amp'd Mobile, Blue Shield of California, Molson Canadian beer and the Versus television network. Tom was lucky enough to work directly with some of advertising's biggest names - including David Lubars and Eric Silver - on some of the world's biggest brands (FedEx, Ebay, Guinness, Red Stripe and AOL to name a few) as a Creative Director at BBDO. Tom credits his six years at Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners in New York - as well as his first job in advertising at Ogilvy & Mather Direct - with giving him an appreciation for proven results and new technologies. He also once rode an elevator alone with David Ogilvy. Tom has won Lions, Pencils, Andys, Addys, Effies, Clios, the aforementioned FWA and several games of Words With Friends. He blogs at http://tchristmann.posterous.com. And you can also follow him at http://www.twitter.com/tchristmann. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and two sons.
