Conference & Awarding Night



Alex "Burnie" Burnard
Creative Director of Crispin Porter + Bogusky

For the last eleven years, Burnie has lived/worked at CP+B, and it's kind of like how he always imagined advertising should be. At CP+B, he first carved out a name for himself with his work for AND1. He created the AND1 Mixtape, and was responsible for leading a small crew of guys through the US shooting and editing the first four tapes. Later work for AND1 involved the rebuilding of Latrell Sprewell's career by proclaiming him the American Dream. Next up was work for the truth brand (the most successful anti-tobacco brand in history) where he made the Bodybag spot that featured real footage of a team of kids dropping 1200 bodybags on the door of Phillip Morris.

Burnie's work for GT Bicycles, Molson beer, the launch of MINI, Ikea and several other clients has left him with a ton of awards from basically every award show that exists. More importantly, the work worked, and has been talked about in Time, Newsweek, New York Times, 60 Minutes, ESPN Sportscenter and countless other media channels.

During his time at CP+B the agency has been named Agency of the Year twelve times In 2004, he and partner Dave Schiff were promoted to co-creative directors of the Maxim magazine account. Their work, involving filing a petition with the Fish and Wildlife Department to list man on the endangered list, was on the forefront of an industry wide effort to kill off metrosexuality. Today, he is a co-creative director on the Coca-Cola Zero account.
