TUG McTIGHE 

VP, Executive Creative Director 

LIFE STORY

When I am away from my basement World Headquarters in Kansas City, MO, you will find me spending time with my family, coaching competitive youth soccer, and consuming as much pop culture (read: books, movies, TV, music) as I possibly can. 

 

CAREER STORY

Throughout my 30-year advertising career I have amassed a portfolio that features projects for brands like AMC Theatres, Sprint, Elanco, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Nudges Dog Treats, Boulevard Brewing Company, Salvation Army, Adobe and more.

​

My work has been featured in national shows such as the CA Ad Annual, AAF National Addys and the Clios. I have also won more than 50 local Addys, including several “Best Ofs.” I was named the Kansas City Ad Club Creative Professional of the Year for 2019.

 

KEY CHARACTER TRAITS

I love to laugh and adore collaborating with others. Advertising is truly a team sport, and I love creating great work with great people. My father’s motto was “If it ain’t fun, don’t do it.” I try to heed that advice every day.
