Larchmont, New York, United States
Paul Coyle That’s my name. I started out my professional career as a high school teacher in New York City public schools. It was there that I first learned to be a mentor. Something that helped me guide young creatives later on in my career. When I went back to art school I discovered a love for design and layout. That brought me to advertising. In short order, I landed at Ogilvy New York. I rose quickly through the ranks and I made partner and Senior Creative. When tough assignments came along, I was always among the creatives selected. And often, my work was chosen above others, wining the Delta Airlines account and being selected for an AdCouncil campaign. But nothing lasts forever, and I took my act on the road, to Brasil (correctly spelled). I redefined the Avon campaign for Soho Square, São Paulo and left them to return to the United States. I quickly wound up at The Gate, New York. Working in financial service and business to business advertising. A new frontier for me certainly, but one that I embraced and that rounded out my advertising experience. I heard the siren’s call again, and it brought me back to Brasil. This time as an entrepreneur and small business owner. I became a franchisee for a major fast food company. After ten years of hard work, learning what business people in the retail and food service industry face on a daily basis, I’ve decided to rejoin the ad world. Life and professional experience intact. I submit myself for your consideration.
When The Gate, NY needed my brand of skill sets I stepped up and helped them realise some of their most creative and successful work to date.
