ROBYN STERN
I love making things, doing things, and being part of a bigger thing. (I also love politics, pit bulls, and mountains—but let’s keep it professional.) I don’t love advertising as it’s traditionally defined; I prefer making connections and shifting culture. I believe in strong concepts rooted in strategy and craft. Technology is powerful—but never a replacement for ideas or taste.
I came up in the industry at a different time so I know how hard it can be to be what you don’t see. Mentorship and leading by example are core to how I work. I’m direct, passionate, and forthcoming—I'm a New Yorker. I’m also compassionate, a good listener, and a student. Yes, of life; but also at UCLA—earning a degree in Interior Architecture.
You can find my work across the award shows, but my proudest achievement is watching my team flourish while creating work we’re genuinely proud of—and had a great time making.
