Joel Arzu
Associate Creative Director
Oglivy Chicago
My inspiration for creating great advertisements began in a Fashion Institute of Technology class taught by working creatives at their agency.
Learning from creators of award-winning work, I followed the advice to “work your ass off" and built a book that earned me a student silver pencil, a start in my career at Wieden & Kennedy NY, and being named to AdAge's top 30 under 30.
