A little about Ben Kay and Dino Spadavecchia.
We have made brands famous, launched agencies, won awards and led many successful pitches, however, we are both extremely humble, so we’re going to spend the next few paragraphs writing nice things about ourselves, even though it makes us feel slightly awkward.
We’ve worked at agencies such as Droga 5 NY; Goodby, Silverstein and Partners; Wieden and Kennedy; AMV BBDO; TBWA Chiat/Day; Media Arts Lab; Saatchi & Saatchi; Leo Burnett; David & Goliath; R/GA; Fallon; Anomaly and 180.
We’ve worked for clients such as Apple, Meta/Facebook, Toyota, Beats, IBM, got milk?, Google, Amazon, Comcast, Hyundai, Lavazza, AT&T, Chevy, Mars, Nintendo and Make Poverty History.
We’ve worked in every medium, from the classics of TV, OOH, radio and press, to social, digital, experiential, mobile, entertainment and sponsorship. We’ve worked at every scale, from local, to national, to global, and we’re just as happy writing and art directing as we are running projects, pitches, accounts or departments.
We’ve won every award in the industry, from Cannes Grands Prix to D&AD Pencils, and even a few short film festival prizes. We’ve also worked with many celebrities, including LeBron James, Jerry Seinfeld, Jessica Alba, Mark Hamill, Hilary Swank, The Beatles and The Cookie Monster (although not on the same ad).
Beyond the day job, we’ve both completed Franklin Covey’s 7 Habits leadership course, some of Dino’s work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, and Ben’s first novel was published by Penguin.
