Forget the mailroom.
I started my advertising career as a janitor at D’Arcy, scraping gum off the sidewalks of Madison Avenue while at NYU's Tisch for Film, Political Theory and Comparative Religion. Along with non-paying gigs at CBGBs and spinning actual vinyl on WNYU-FM, my inevitable careen toward this business had already begun.
I'm a wildly experienced, award-winning, fully-integrated creative and creative leader. My extensive background in everything from branding and traditional through digital and social to shopper, experiential and retail ensures the 360° integration of the perfect idea across the endlessly expanding channels and touchpoints.
With a substantial history of new business successes and exceptional presentation skills – hitched to my notoriously contagious enthusiasm – I build agencies, teams, culture and clients.
I love this stuff.

Always a favorite of mine.... Creatively, he demanded excellence in his own work, from those he partnered with and, later, from people he supervised. A very strong presenter, Todd was always enthusiastic under fire... Creative to the core, has an uncanny understanding of a client's mindset. He has a head for business – including prosaic things like sales goals – and this side of his persona comes through loud and clear in meetings and social settings. Clients find him to be a kindred spirit, a "fun guy" to be around.... I strongly endorse a leadership role for Todd in any agency's creative department. >>

I can only describe Todd Miller as stellar. His talent, craft, and ideation, is only matched by his dedication, passion, and loyalty. Todd was indispensable on key Sports Authority launches for Adidas, Nike, Champion, Under Armour, NFL Play60, Sports Authority Field and The Denver Broncos , and many more. An excellent presenter, he built strong business relationships as well as lasting friendships with my clients based on trust, mutual respect, and a relentless work ethic. Todd's sheer enthusiasm for this business is as contagious as it is genuine. He's an asset to any agency, and i was privileged to have him in mine. >>

Working with Todd Miller at Lunchbox was a tremendous experience. Todd is a person passionate about more than the creative itself, but the entire pipeline necessary to make good creative possible. Todd worked all the way up the chain and back improving sales meetings, briefs, kickoffs, the role the idea has to lead and inform the technology and content output. Todd reminds us that the idea is still in charge and shows you what the world can be like when lead by a singular vision. How could anyone not love that? >>

Working in an integrated "Team" agency requires people who really want to be part of a team and can be both a team player and a team leader. Todd fits both of those bills and his team was able to deliver very creative, completely integrated ideas that went far beyond simply advertising. In addition to being an excellent creative talent, Todd is just a hell of a guy to have around. He has an outsized personality and a fun-loving nature that adds excitement to the everyday. He also isn't a push over so be prepared to support your point of view if it differs from Todd"s. >>

Todd is a unique breed. He's an award-winning, fresh-thinking creative that also has the gift of being able to win over clients with his passion and on the fly problem solving. Todd is a perfectionist craftsman who will never create anything inferior. His experience is broad, which gives him a slightly different point of view. I could always count on Todd no matter how big or small the problem, I knew he would work tirelessly for the good of the work and the client. >>

Todd is a prolific and innovative creative thinker who worked at FCB San Francisco on multiple high-visibility projects for: Levi's, Janus, LucasArts, Fox Sports and Taco Bell. Todd was one of the few senior members of the department who had the ability to effortlessly work on a high-budget TV production, while simultaneously sweating the details on a small-budget print or outdoor campaign. He is an extremely personable, dedicated and enthusiastic ACD/AD who would be a great addition to any agency looking for senior talent. >>
