Hi, I’m Harris. And I’ve never had a bad day at work.
I mean, yeah, this is a tough business. But I’m confident the best creative still lies ahead, and my irrational passion for advertising and extensive entertainment background are a distinct advantage for agencies and brands looking to craft resonant campaigns that shape culture and drive growth.
Currently, I oversee the creative departments in TMA’s LA, Chicago, NYC, and Dallas offices, ensuring we deliver multi-disciplinary excellence in Content and TV, Experiential, Social, Digital, and Gaming. As a very hands-on CCO, I have unified and up-skilled the agency’s decentralized talent, and together, we’ve grown our brand business over 10-fold, producing award-winning campaigns and experiences for State Farm, Six Flags, Morgan Stanley, DieHard, the U.S. Army, PepsiCo, Wendy’s, and many more. Before TMA, I was a CD at TBWA\CHIAT\DAY, working on Gatorade, Miller Lite, and Buffalo Wild Wings.
On the entertainment side, I’ve been a WGA screenwriter and producer for more than 20 years, which helps fuel my obsession with storytelling. I’ve sold a dozen feature film scripts and seven original series pilots to networks and studios including New Line, Warner Bros, FOX, NBC, Universal, Sony, Lionsgate, and Dreamworks. I’ve also written and produced 40+ episodes of “My Haunted House” and “My Crazy Ex” for A & E, as well as an undeniably terrible addition to the “Leprechaun” franchise for Lionsgate. My sci-fi thriller “Invasion” is in pre-production at Voltage, and director/producer Gary Dauberman (IT, Salem’s Lot) is attached to my new thriller “Are You Still Watching?”. And because I keep writing when I should be sleeping, my new YA novel “The Forever Boy” is now available everywhere.
