Mike Weidner

I’m 70% water, of which 90% is a delightful concoction of creative juices, with the other 10%, coffee. My work has been featured in Communication Arts, The One Show, The One Show Interactive, Archive, and Creativity Magazine. I have over twenty years of advertising agency experience in print, digital, out of home and broadcast, on accounts ranging from fertilizer to perfume. My extracurricular talents include novel writing, and the uncanny ability to name any major song from the Seventies in three notes or less.
