Josh Rogers
Executive Creative Director, the Americas
Imagination
Josh was born and raised in the woods. Then he earned his English literature degree from the University of Virginia. After graduating (and going undrafted by the Boston Celtics), he moved to New York to become an advertising executive. Stints as a strategic planner and writer at McCann Erickson and Berlin Cameron taught Josh that a traditional agency structure, machine-tooled to produce pre-determined solutions to every unique problem wasn’t ideal for him or for the brands he hoped to build.
In 2001 he luckily met Neil Powell. Since, they’ve been strategic and creative partners, making campaigns and other things that typically defy definition.
For his work with brands like Rheingold Beer, Disney, Reebok, vitaminwater, Perry Ellis, the NBA, Coca Cola and Sundance, Josh has short-listed at Cannes, won One Show pencils, CLIOs, EFFIEs and the Jay Chiat Planning Award. He values his experience as a guest teacher, speaker and new creative voice on the EFFIE Steering Committee.
He also lives in the woods again, at least part time.
