Hello, my name is Rob McQueen and I am a Group Creative Director at Bandits & Friends, a really good ad agency. Over the last 15+ years I've worked at a few really good other places and have had a really good time creating campaigns with iconic brands like Dos Equis, Samsung, BMW, Hershey, Seventh Generation, Coors Light, Allstate, IHOP, Expedia, Google, and ESPN to name a few.
Before all that, I grew up in San Diego, California where I once drove a Zamboni for a summer job. Later, I studied at The Art Institute of California and worked at McDonalds, Starbucks, a surf shop, and an art gallery all before finally landing at my first ad agency where I was educated on how to make brands famous. My work has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Fortune, Variety, Fast Company, Huffington Post, Washington Post, Sports Illustrated, NPR, and one tweet from Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Send me an email and we can talk about stuff like, air traffic control, Dadaism, movies, dogs, and my ability to list things.
