If you're wondering why Austin's name is written in graffiti at the top of the page, it's because he used to have aspirations of being a low-life graffiti writer before opting to channel his creativity into something less likely to land him in jail. That something was advertising, and Austin began his career in it at Saatchi & Saatchi NY in 2009 alongside copywriting partner Mike Motch (They're still together, all the work here is Mike's as well). Austin then moved on to other NY agencies, TBWA/Chiat/Day NY, Grey NY, and Barton F. Graf where he gained experience contributing across a wide variety of clients before taking a position at BBDO NY in 2014. He became an ACD at BBDO working primarily on Foot Locker as well as Priceline.com and Snickers among others. In 2018, he relocated to Colorado to join CPB+ where he's produced work on Domino's, Fruit of the Loom, and Vrbo.
