Andy Chang - Freelance VP, Brand Account Director

About

I started out my career on the client side working on the truth campaign but knew that I wanted to gain the experience and knowledge of the creative process by working at an agency. 13 years later, I've worked on the widest range of clients possible (non-profits to Fortune 500s) at several Agency of the Year nominees and led multiple teams that produced award-winning work. There isn't a scenario in account management that will surprise me because I've seen it all and at different scales. I'm currently navigating the world of freelancing in Account Management which is a lot different than your typical creative or production freelance path.

Interests

Sports are a big part of my life and I love when it merges with work. I love to travel on my down time (max out your PTO policies!) and go to shows - traveling for shows is even better.

Fun Fact

I’ve lived in New York for over a decade and still haven't visited the Met Background I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and attended the University of Maryland where I received a B.S. in Marketing & Finance. I went into college as a Finance major but realized it wasn't really the career or life I truly wanted and Advertising/Marketing was that second career that interested me.
