✺ my dad after I graduated college ✺
I'm Brooke Burge, an associate creative director based in Chicago. I got into the creative industry because I love rejection. I mean where else am I going to be told "no" daily and expect to keep running full speed? I joke that the people pleaser in me enjoys a good challenge, but mixing creativity with problem solving has always been in my veins. Melissa, my mom, has a basement full of rotting boxes of childhood art projects and hand made inventions to prove it.
Shifting to social and relocating to Chicago 🌭, I'm focusing on how to make big ideas for little screens📱. Productions on Planet Fitness and being in the war room for Frontier's Super Bowl 🏆 spot kicked off a very strong first year. I'm currently in the thick of scripting and producing spots 🎬 for TGL (Tiger Woods' and Rory McIlroy's golf league) and Denny's that fit all screen sizes and senses of humor.
Rebranded the agency and then rebranded a bunch of destinations. From hotels to cities and full-on countries, I get to work on a variety of clients across the literal globe 🌎. I knocked out some pretty cool 360 campaigns, TV spots 🎥, photo and video shoots and brand campaigns. And yes, I did get to travel. Most notably I went to Greece and then Cleveland immediately after. I spent my time managing 👍 a team of five with my copywriting partner. Six years flew by and while the work kept changing, my love for the people I did it alongside never will.
Hired mid-level and thrown onto the McDonald's 🍟account, I found my sweet spot of big ideas and playful visuals creating campaigns for partnerships like Uber Eats 🚗 the Chiefs 🏈 and Royals ⚾️. I got to make some cool out of home boards and even ran the internship program 💡.
