Periscope recently welcomed two new creative directors, Ryan Peck and Scott O’Leary, who have collaborated on numerous award-winning campaigns that gained recognition at the Cannes Lions, One Show, Clios and Effies, to name a few. Peck started out as a film critic, and went on to work as a creative and copywriter for clients like Citibank, BMW, Travelers, Starbucks, The Bahamas and Harley Davidson. Oh, and he has an Emmy — no big deal. O’Leary is an ultra-marathoner, Spartan racer, and creator of over50badasses.com. He has worked on clients like H&R Block, Subaru, The Bahamas and more. They have worked together for nearly two decades at various agencies, so you know they have some good dirt on one another.
