I've been in advertising for a long time–and that's a good thing.

More specifically, I've been an advertising creative for 24 years, with at least 10 of those in CD roles. I'm really good at the managerial and relationship-building parts of the job because I like figuring out how to make the process work for the people engaging in it. I'm also highly skilled when it comes to developing a brand's voice, positioning, and strategy. I've also built a strong reel as a Producer and Editor. This is my CW/CD portfolio,  but you can go to  philgablevideo.com to see work that I wrote, produced, and edited. I've worked with budgets as low as 3k and as high as 1MM. I've worked in big agencies and small ones and have been full time in 5 different cities. I've won national awards as a Writer, Art Director, Producer, Director, and Illustrator. In addition to client presentations I've logged quite a few hours on stages in NYC as comedian, so I'm good in tough rooms. I've made a few pieces of political street art in recent years that have picked up press around the world. (Media outlets across 18 countries in 11 languages if anyone's counting.) I've written original animated shorts for Comedy Central and independently produced a few others. (Check out valeriejustice.com if you're into ribald political satire.) If you need an experienced writer/CD/producer/strategist, let's chat.
