Dave Weist and Tim Vaccarino
You know the old Leo Durocher thing about nice guys finishing last? Not true. Witness Dave Weist and Tim Vaccarino, two good guys who just got bumped up to Executive Creative Directors in Mullen’s Boston headquarters. For those of you who don’t know them personally, I suspect you’ll recognize their work. They helped Mullen win the JetBlue and Barnes & Noble/NOOK accounts and have been the creative leaders on the You Above All and Read Forever campaigns for those two brands. If you’re a U.S. Armed Services member, you may have also seen their Super Bowl spot for the Federal Voting Assistance Program.
Dave and Tim came to us by way of Modernista! and Arnold, where they created a lot of famous work for Cadillac, Hummer and VW. They have won all the big stuff – Cannes Grand Prix, One Show, Andy’s, Art Directors Club, CA, Clio’s, Grand MPA Kelly Awards, D&AD, AICP and multiple Effies.
“With Tim and Dave, it’s always been about making Mullen better, not making themselves better,” said Mark Wenneker, Chief Creative Officer. “They’ve won accounts, won awards and won the hearts and the respect of all of us. Good things come to good people, but great things only come to a few. And it only seems right to recognize their contributions in a huge way at this point.”
Congrats to these good guys and look forward to seeing their next act of creative wizardry.
