My names Jason Vinciguerra but my friends call me Vinny. I'm an award winning creative with over 20 years experience in leading multi-national and regional communications agencies. I've conceptualised, created and implemented multi-channel campaigns with proven expertise and experience in most media channels and sectors. I'm a strategic conceptual and visual thinker with a unique creative imagination served by technology. I've won big pitches (lost a few), launched, loved and loathed a few brands. I've been nominated, won and high-fived in over 50 creative and effectiveness awards at both international and national level (most of them left in cabs on the way home) and above all had great fun along the way.
