HOWDY
Sure, you could read my bio. Or you could line dance to it with completely made up Nashville superstar Scoots McGriff:
Hi I’m Chris Perrone. A lot of my friends just call me Perrone. I’ve been a Creative since the aughts: An Art Director for all of them, a Creative Director for half, and a freelance GCD for a couple as well. Along the way, Ive been lucky to have amazing clients, teams and projects; from big idea broadcast campaigns to social first and content driven.
Ive spent most of my career working in New York, but have also ran projects in Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin and DC. I currently live in Jerz, snowboard a ton, know way too much about DC punk rock, have 2 kids, and an ill tempered fancy dog. Im a voting member of the Academy, and mentor up-and-coming creatives at TalkToACreativeDirector.com
Thanks again for checking out my work. Please drop me a line if you’d like to know anything further or just say “Hi, thanks for being awesome”. Below you can find my work experience.
