Kash Sree is one of those guys who could tell you how to make your ads better and then proceed to kick your ass.
You see, before he made the logical transition to copywriter, Kash spent his time studying and teaching martial arts, while moonlighting as a designer at Ogilvy in [...]
Ty Montague
Co-President, Chief Creative Officer North America
JWT
Normal. That’s probably the best way to describe Ty Montague. He’s not into lecturing or pontificating. Doesn’t claim to know “the” way to save the industry. Got sidetracked by “women and beer” in college, worked odd jobs and did a bunch of other things normal people do. And now he’s [...]
Thirasak Tanapatanakul
Worldwide Chairman
Creative Juice, Bangkok
There’re always grounds for suspicion when an award show jury is announced and Thirasak Tanapatanakul’s name isn’t on the list.
Or on the shortlist, as is the case. During his six years tenure at the helm of Creative Juice Bangkok, he scored major accolades at all the local and international award shows, [...]
Terry O’Reilly
Writer/Director
Pirate
It’s kinda funny that it has taken me all these years to get a legend like Terry O’Reilly to grace ihaveanidea’s Creatives section. On a personal note, Terry is the first advertising creative I ever met, and several months after that, he was the first ad guy to ever see my portfolio (and probably a [...]
Masako Okamura
Creative Director
Dentsu, Tokyo
A good friend of mine always says that “Living in Tokyo is the closest you’ll to get to living on another planet”.
While the accuracy of that statement is debatable, it made me realize that ihaveanidea’s considerable interview vault had yet to include someone from the land of the rising sun.
Masako is the first [...]

You can take the man out of Wieden+Kennedy.
Jim Riswold is, in the words of Esquire magazine, “The reason you know that Bo knows. He’s the reason you are Tiger Woods. He’s the guy who paired MJ with Mars. He’s the guy who paired MJ with a rabbit. He is [...]

Weerachon Weeraworawit
Executive Creative Director
BBDO Bangkok
Thailand has always been a force to be reckoned with on the award circuit. Not only in Asia, but on the global stage. Unfortunately, it’s rare the faces behind the winning work make it all the way across the Pacific ocean and to our part of the world. Weerachon “Dahn” Weeraworawit is [...]
Andy Fackrell
Executive Creative Director
180 Amsterdam
It would be a dream if you were a chocoholic and you somehow got to work on the Hershey’s account, or if you worshiped at the altar of Steve Jobs and were brought on board to do the next iPhone ad. But imagine being a major sports enthusiast and getting your hands [...]
