Bill Whitney, Creative Director

What Bill Whitney says about Bill Whitney

I'm a creative director (art) who's spent his career making brands say things worth listening to — leading a transformation at ALDI, helping to kindle the love for Subaru, and keeping a heritage brand fresh at AAA. No matter the client, my job's the same: find the idea that's actually true, then make it impossible to ignore.

I've called Michigan home for 12 years, Midwestern for all of them. I believe in summer softball, craft beer, cover bands, motorcycles, windsurfing, rescue animals, snowboarding, the classic iPod, county fairs, movie theaters, vintage cameras, and extra ketchup.

What other people say about Bill Whitney

David Johns

Bill is not merely a gifted creative professional; he is a person of remarkable character and an invaluable team player whose positive influence extends far beyond his direct contributions. He would undoubtedly be a transformative asset to any creative team.

Bill Cimino

I would recommend Bill Whitney without reservation. He would be a terrific addition to any creative department. Bill has that rare combination of being extremely talented but also incredibly nice. He will work all night if he has to, then come in the morning with a big smile on his face. It was an absolute privilege to work along side him for my time at McCann Detroit. He is a true leader and creative that can inspire everyone around him. My mantra for being a creative leader has always been, surround yourself with people who are better than you. Bill Whitney was certainly that. He is just an all around fantastic creative talent.

Julian Lissiman

I had the pleasure of working with Bill at AAA/AutoClub Group for 3 years. Bill is one of the most dedicated, hard-working, creatives I've worked with. He doesn't only bring his best thinking to every project, he also brings his values. Bill is fair, calm, cool under pressure, and always gives people the benefit of the doubt. People like Bill are extremely rare in the creative industry, and I only wish I worked with Bill for longer – he's not only an exceptional creative, he's also an amazing person.
