Mark A. DiPietro
Creative Director / Writer

I am a left-handed Steelers fan who is happiest when I’m making. During the day I make ads. I build brands. I create content. I lead teams of editors, photographers, art directors, copywriters, drone operators, special effects crews, costume designers, scorpion wranglers, celebrities, athletes, and all sorts of colorful characters. After hours (and on Instagram) you’ll find me brewing beer, fermenting kombucha, bottling hot sauce, smoking meats, and tapping the tree in my front yard to make maple syrup.

My work has been recognized by Effies, Graphis, Pittsburgh ADDYs, Chicago ADDYs, Adweek, Tellys, Mobius and more. Congratulations on reading this far into my bio!  If you call me and say, “purple rabbit dog face,” I’ll buy you a coffee.
