Chief Creative Officer

DDB

North America

Ari Weiss most recently served as Chief Creative Officer at BBH NY. Since joining the agency in 2011 BBH NY found its way onto Creativity’s coveted A-List and was named Webby Agency of the Year, both firsts for the NY agency. He helped transform AXE from adolescence to adulthood overnight with his “Susan Glenn” campaign and penned the line “Greatness Awaits” for PlayStation helping transform the brand from third place to first place with the largest console launch in gaming history. In March of 2015 he was named to AdAge's prestigious 40 under 40 list. In 2016 he helped launch the very real political campaign for the very fictional presidential candidate Frank Underwood (the star of the Netflix Original Series House of Cards). The campaign launched during the highest rated political debate in American history and became the top trending topic on twitter creating more conversation than the debate itself and garnering over 6.6 billion earned media impressions.

Before joining BBH NY, Ari learned his craft by way of Cliff Freeman & Partners, Saatchi & Saatchi NY, BBDO NY, Wieden & Kennedy Portland, Goodby Silverstein & Partners and 180 Los Angeles.

Ari lives in Tribeca with his beautiful wife, his daughter Layla and son Luca accomplishments that dwarf his pride for any of his advertising accomplishments.
