Ben Butler is an award-winning writer and Creative Director with two decades of experience creating memorable, culture-minded work for agencies and brands across nearly every category.

A former academic who abandoned a Ph.D. program for advertising after an unlikely epiphany involving a Taco Bell commercial, Ben has built his career around a deceptively simple formula: find the smartest version of the idea, write the hell out of it, and never take advertising more seriously than the audience does.

Over the years, Ben has developed everything from large-scale brand platforms and integrated campaigns to films, social ideas and the strange little executions people actually remember.

His work has earned industry recognition, but just as importantly, he’s built a reputation as the kind of creative clients and collaborators want in the room.
