Biography

Jason Bagley spent 16 years at Wieden+Kennedy, including 3.5 as Co-Chief Creative Officer of its 550-person Portland office. Under his leadership, the office was named Agency of the Year three times, and his teams created award-winning work for Nike, Old Spice, Coca-Cola, Converse, Instagram, KFC, Samsung and more. He helped transform Old Spice into the most creatively awarded brand in the industry with the iconic ‘Smell Like a Man, Man’ campaign, which won a Cannes Lions Grand Prix and an Emmy. Jason also led creative for brands like Samsung, Oreo, EA and CareerBuilder. Now Executive Creative Director at Alto, he leads the Life360 account and recently produced what may be the most violent (animated) commercial ever made. Frustrated by the lack of elite mentorship in the industry, he founded The Audacious School of Astonishing Pursuits – a coaching programme for ambitious creatives. He lives in Arizona, US, with his wife Parmis and has five awesome kids.
