Jerry Confino

It’s always been important to me to do work I’m proud of. But it goes beyond that. The ads have to give clients a return on their investment. That means they have to truly engage consumers and get them to take action. Advertising that's truly memorable can do that.

I’ve created award-winning work for just about every kind of client imaginable (you name it, I’ve worked on it)— in every medium from TV to radio to digital. I have the experience and judgement to wrap my head around what the messaging needs to be for a given assignment — then to make the right creative decisions—and make them quickly.

In the final analysis, the work I've done for my clients speaks for itself. It's been internationally recognized by awards shows for its creativity. And by clients for its effectiveness.

Sal DeStefano

Over the course of my career, I’ve done award-winning work at such renowned agencies as TBWA/Chiat/Day, BBDO, JWT, McCann Erickson and Dentsu. For a wide range of clients— everyone from Gillette to Bank of New York to Nasonex.

I’ve also been fortunate to receive some significant assignments from my clients, assignments that were critical to their business or their cause. At BBDO, I worked on Bank of America before and during the height of the last economic crisis. At McCann Erickson, I developed a campaign for the State Department immediately following 9/11. For ExxonMobil, I created the first campaigns after the merger of the two companies.

My approach to advertising is pretty simple. Do work that’s grounded in a rock-solid strategy—that’s imaginative, fresh and memorable. And always act in the client’s best interests.
