Hey, how’s it going? I’m Bill Lindsey. CD. Writer.

And, sure, I concept fully-integrated campaigns. Ideate across all verticals. Lead teams and pitches. Blah blah blah blah blah. I do all that stuff, of course. But what do I really do?

Work that WORKS.

I’m not a diva. I’m not a delicate genius (hell, I’m no genius at all). I don’t make art. I make advertising.

Advertising that sells. Advertising that moves products and services. Advertising that makes money for clients (and agencies, for that matter). I deliver big ideas—outcomes that generate income.

Is it creative? Absolutely. Has it won awards? Yup. But honestly? I don’t give a flying @#$% about awards. I care about results. Which is why you’ll see results—oftentimes spectacular ones—tied to a lot of the work in this portfolio. Go ahead: check the numbers.

You wanna shoot the shit? I’m a husband. Dad of an 11-year-old daughter and twin 9-year-old boys. Long-time scuba diver. Former private pilot. Dual US-Irish citizen. World traveler (40 countries and counting). Inveterate reader. Sports trivia idiot savant (mostly idiot...part savant).

You wanna shoot the shit about knocking brands outta the park? Then definitely let’s talk.
