Andrew Hunter is a writer and Executive Creative Director at Uncommon Creative Studio NY.
Raised in New Orleans by a nice Jewish teacher and Catholic lawyer, he followed in his parent’s footsteps and moved to New York to work in indie hip hop, by way of Miami.
His biography shares similarities with many other creative directors in the industry. He’s won awards (Cannes Grand Prix 2018 & 2024), made the news (New York Times, Rolling Stone, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, et al.), and landed on the AdWeek Creative 100.
Also, his work has been parodied by South Park, lampooned by John Oliver, imitated by Drake, ripped off by John Wick, roasted by Mardi Gras parades, investigated by Michael Lewis, and used as Exhibit A by the Southern District of New York. Bono once stopped a U2 concert to read his print ad on stage.
He’s the only person to convince Larry David to do a Super Bowl commercial. It later got him sued and inspired the HBO series, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, produced by Barack and Michelle Obama.
These dumb decisions have led to billions in revenue growth for brands (Coca Cola, Meta, 7-Eleven, Guinness, IKEA, Google, FTX, New Orleans Tourism), millions in new business for agencies (Uncommon, Ogilvy, 360i), and one permanent placement in the Museum of Modern Art archives.
Andrew can be found in the back corner of the worst bar you can think of.
