JonLeachman

Group Creative Director / Art

Overview

I'm a Chicago-based Creative Director with more than 18 years of experience creating award-winning campaigns spanning broadcast, digital, social, experiential, design, and emerging media.

Originally from a small town in Missouri, I'm passionate about the great misunderstood art forms of the 21st century: professional wrestling, advertising, and the rule of threes.
