About me

Rob Schwartz was once described as a "CEO's Creative Director." In other words, the rare creative person who is fascinated by all aspects of a business and finds ways to create breakthrough platforms and campaigns that get results and build brands. He has since transformed from CCO to CEO and is currently Chief Executive Officer of TBWA\Chiat\Day New York. Since Rob has taken over in 2015, the New York office has enjoyed explosive growth boasting 14 new business wins in a mere 18 months.

Throughout his career, Rob has spearheaded work for blue-chip brands including Nissan, McDonald's, Pepsi, Thomson Reuters and Visa, to name but a few. Along the way he has won nearly every advertising award including Grand Effie's, Cannes Lions, and One Show pencils. He has also been a Cannes Lions Jury President and jury member.

Rob was recognized as ThinkLA's "Leader of the Year." And is considered one of Adweek's "25 Voices to Follow in Social Media." He also lends his voice to Forbes and Campaign where he is a popular and regular contributor. A few more facts about him
