John Simons is a strategist at TBWA\Chiat\Day LA. Before strategy, in order of life event, John earned his bachelor's in graphic design, interned as a copywriter, got his start and near immediate end in advertising as a project coordinator, attempted starting a clothing brand, shot underground hip-hop photography, drove for Lyft & Uber Eats, worked in the quick stop service center at his alma mater registering students for classes, horizontally upgraded to digital marketing specialist at his alma mater, enrolled in a grad program for strategy, now works in advertising as a strategist with no worries of being fired. As you can see, getting into strategy was a linear story for John (joking). John's story is what empowered him to mentor and help people find their path to doing what they love. When you have a helping hand, the time spent suffering lasts less.
