About me

Margaret leads the integrated creative team in MullenLowe’s LA office on Acura, Whole Foods Market, Patrón, Knorr, TRESemmé, and California Avocado Commission. She and the team put Acura back in the Super Bowl and created a safety spot called “The Test,” named the “Best Automobile Television Advertising” in the world. On Knorr (a Unilever food seasoning brand), Margaret and her MullenLowe LA comrades created “Love at First Taste,” the second-most-watched ad on YouTube in 2016. Her teams created innovative and scrappy projects for California Avocado Commission that Forbes called the “future of food advertising.” Prior to joining MullenLowe, Margaret was at Saatchi & Saatchi, where she led teams on all creative aspects of the Toyota brand. She began her career at TBWA\CHIAT\DAY, rising from switchboard operator to a creative lead on Apple, Nissan, and Pedigree. Margaret has been named among Adweek’s Creative 100 and one of Business Insider’s 30 Most Creative Women in Advertising.
