John Carstens

John Carstens is a seasoned and cured Executive Creative Director at SapientNitro, a technology firm by legacy and creative agency by mandate. His career has taken him from writing ads featuring dusty vehicles, talking animals and agitated businesspeople; to leading cross-discipline teams to blow brand campaigns into millions of connected pieces; to the creative application of technology while saying things like “mobile penetration” with a straight face. He’s won awards, new business and the occasional smattering of polite applause as a creative director and writer at the likes of Leo Burnett, DDB and TBWA/Chiat/Day.
