There are a couple of talented new art and copy slingers at Schifino Lee with an arsenal of creative experience behind them. Beyond their award-winning work and experience with national advertising campaigns, they’re also pretty cool guys.
Mike Looper, Copywriter
Mike “Loop” Looper claims to be a former train robber and a one-time almost-extra in a George Clooney movie, though it’s his skills as a writer that make him an excellent addition to our creative team. He’s worked on projects for HondaJet, Lowes Foods, BASF, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, Moffitt Cancer Center, Ekornes, Lennar Homes, S&N Communications, Polivka International, and Texas Children’s Hospital. Before getting into advertising, Loop studied Writing and Media Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Using the majority of what he acknowledges as an “empty head”, Loop brings an exciting new point of view, voice, and personality to a wide variety of Schifino Lee clients.
Jon Rodriguez, Senior Art Director
Jon “No Nickname” Rodriguez is an Art Director/Carl Sagan superfan with considerable talents as an illustrator and designer. He also writes and produces his own music and, just to round out the triple-threat, he hosts a show broadcast on YouTube called Zen with Ben. He’s worked on projects for Toyota, Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, Buffalo Wild Wings, Shoe Carnival, Publix, Sweetbay Supermarket, the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Tampa Bay Rowdies, Florida’s Natural, and Costa Rica Tourism. Prior to working in advertising, Jon exhibited his illustrations in galleries across the country with some of his work being featured in various books and art blogs. He earned his degree in Graphic and Interactive Communication at Ringling College of Art and Design.
If you see them, welcome them to the Schifino Lee family, and be sure to call them by the wrong name.
