Andrew Keller

vice president/associate creative director

Crispin Porter + Bogusky

Andrew Keller is vice president/associate creative director of Miami-based Crispin Porter + Bogusky. In kindergarten, when asked to draw a picture of what he wanted to be, Keller drew a garbage man. He liked the idea of hanging off the back of a moving truck. Tests revealed he should be a flight attendant, a priest or an advertising executive. He was an English major, became an art director and is now a creative director. “I love to disrupt…to tap into the collective unconsciousness, predict behavior and then mess with people.” He launched MINI with 100 or so of the most talented and dedicated people you’d ever want to meet. He is also creative director for the Virgin Atlantic and Burger King accounts. Andrew likes to say, “The more advertising is like rock ‘n’ roll, the more I like it. And right now, it’s a lot like rock ‘n’ roll.”

In recent years, Andrew’s work, most notably on Altoids, has scored multiple appearances in all the major award shows, causing his trophy shelf to sag dangerously. He lives with his wife and their two boys in a civil-war-era farmhouse in Wisconsin, and owns an enormous barn that houses his dozen or so bicycles and expansive junk collection.

Supple grew up on the South Side of Chicago and graduated from the University of Dayton. He began his career as a writer at smaller agencies in Chicago, South Bend and Minneapolis. It was the chance to work on Rapala lures, CL’s oldest client, that brought him to CL where he found a creative culture that would become home. His first CA published work was a Rapala ad in 1980. Other “enthusiast” accounts would follow, like Harley-Davidson, Porsche, Gibson Guitars, and the agency has grown and expanded its account list to include Northwest Airlines, A.G. Edwards and American Standard.

His interests in design, architecture and film found a voice on a larger stage, furthering his view that there is life for brands beyond 30 seconds and single pages. In addition to recognition from advertising and design shows, Todd’s work is part of the permanent collections of New York’s Guggenheim, London’s Victoria & Albert Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
