Reflections on Worst Case Scenarios, Ego, and Apologies

Gerry Graf is founder and CCO of Barton F Graf.
Over a 25+ year career spanning BBDO, Goodby, Chiat NY and Saatchi, there are few more decorated creative minds in our industry than Gerry. AdAge named three of his commercials to their list of the 20 Best Super Bowl Ads of All Time. In 2007, he was named the most awarded creative director in the world. In 2014 he appeared on Fast Company’s list of the '100 Most Creative People in Business.' Business Insider named him 'The Most Creative Man in Advertising.' Newsweek called him one of 'The New Don Drapers.'
In 2010 Gerry launched his own agency, Barton F Graf, and it has been on the A-List every year since. Today BFG is the fastest growing independent agency in America.
