Don’t get us wrong; we have nothing against little old ladies. We’re just
not sure they make the best creative directors. So instead, we’ve hired Neal
Moore of Pasadena, California, to head up the Oliver Russell creative team.
Moore brings with him 20 years of art direction and award-winning creative
directorship, most recently from the Kern Organization in Los Angeles. He
has worked with a broad range of clients, including Hewlett-Packard, SAP,
U.S. Bank, Sprint, Intel, The KOHLER Company, VeriSign, and Washington State
Tourism. Moore says he’s happy to return to Idaho after having worked and
lived here 10 years ago. We’re all making bets on when he’ll trade his Ed
Hardy shirts and designer jeans for Goretex and fleece.
