Something's Radiating in New Mexico




The careers of most creatives seem to hit a certain spike where they do that one grand slam project. You know the one. It grabs checkered flag after checkered flag at the award-show circuit, and takes the pole position of your portfolio. Quite frankly, it becomes difficult to find anyone who repeats such success and churns out great work after great work after great work. We got a little lucky when we found Bart Cleveland, one of our judges for the 2008-2009 Art Director’s Club of Denver Annual Show.

Bart Cleveland is that rare bird who isn’t running a sprint, but a marathon. With two decades under his belt, Bart has created knockout branding campaigns for Coca-Cola, CNN, Cartoon Network and many clients that don’t begin with the letter “c”. And over those two decades, that work has garnished multiple showings in The One Show, CA, D&AD and the Clios.

He has been at many agencies in the Atlanta area, and today, he is the Creative Director/Partner of McKee Wallwork Cleveland in Albuquerque. His team’s last campaign for Porsche cracked the coveted Communication Arts Ad Annual last year. Oh, and he’s a total class act.

The call-for-entries is out and the work is rolling in and it looks good. Is yours in the mix? You can enter everything online at adcd.com. Our entry fees have still stayed the same low price. And if you’re a member, you can spend a ceiling fee of $700 and can enter everything under the sun.
