Neil Heymann

Global Chief Creative Officer at Accenture Song
New York, Estados Unidos

Sumario

Neil Heymann has spent the last two decades at the forefront of the global advertising industry. Recognized for his collaborative leadership style and multi-channel brand storytelling experience, Neil is the Global Chief Creative Officer at Accenture Song.

He recently spent some time as a Founding Partner at Le Truc, an innovative, collaborative business model threaded across the Publicis Groupe. And prior to that, he spent time at TBWA, Crispin Porter + Bogusky and had a nearly 12 year run at Droga5 NY, most recently serving as the agency’s first Global Chief Creative Officer. During that time, Neil was at the center of many of Droga5’s most effective, and influential campaigns, helping lead the agency to over 25 Agency of the Year wins, five Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies recognitions, and most recently, both Adweek’s and AdAge's Agency of the Decade title. His work with Jay-Z, Microsoft, Prudential, Burger King and Mailchimp have been awarded with Cannes Grand Prixes and Titanium Lions.

Neil was raised in Johannesburg and Sydney, and has the muddled accent to prove it. He’s lived in New York since 2008. Through his years in advertising, he’s been able to find a variety of outlets for his nerdy pop-culture obsessions, magnetic attraction to the Internet, love of visual communication and preoccupation with wordplay.

He lives in Brooklyn, with his wife Lara, his 8-year old daughter Ruby and more graphic T-shirts, caps and sneakers than would be considered reasonable for most men in their forties.
