Hello there.

I'm Juan, currently VP Executive Creative Director at Double Good in Chicago, but first and foremost, I'm a writer who likes to make things.

As an advertising professional with over 24 years of experience, I've had the good fortune of working with some very talented individuals to create work for some of the world's largest brands at agencies like Havas Worldwide, McCann Erickson, and Leo Burnett. Some of my main clients include Coca-Cola, MasterCard, GM, Kellogg's, American Airlines, Nestlé, L'Oréal, Pepsico, Beam Suntory, and P&G, among many others.

I've also helped launch a successful startup as Chief Brand Officer, written for television, published a couple of short stories, worked as Editor in Chief for a men's magazine, and published an interactive children's book on the App Store.

I'm fully bilingual in English and Spanish and have dual citizenship (US and Spain). If you'd like to talk shop or bounce some ideas around, please feel free to reach out: jrsantiago@gmail.com. Peace!
