No mentor?

Meet your

NowAndThentor.

Think great ideas are hard to find? Try finding an experienced mentor in most Creative Departments these days. Seriously, what happend? Mass extinction? Alien abduction? Unlimited PTO? (Just kidding, it was layoffs.) 

Well, that’s where I come in. Your NowAndThentor. A veteran CD offering creative feedback, guidance, and inspo whenever you need it. And it’s totally free.

Need a quick portfolio review? Stuck on a tricky assignment? Confused by this crazy business and just want to vent?

Hit me up.

No judgement, no generational griping, and no mansplaining.

Just empathy, experience, and creative pro tips, with some dumb humor on the side.

And since it’s free, I can safely say it’ll be worth every penny.

Who am I?

Hey, I’m Wade. A CD/Copywriter who’s logged agency stints at hot shops and not-so-hot ones, agency-side, client-side, stateside, and Tokyo, Japan. I’ve shot TV commercials on four continents, worked with people like Industrial Light & Magic and Spike Lee, presented creative work to heads of state and U.S. Army generals, and met Carrot Top in-person.

Why am I doing this?

I had some great mentors back in the day, and it feels good to pass that along. Plus, I think you deserve a place to turn for feedback and advice beyond social media comment threads. So think of this as the old school, one-on-one approach made better by technology — no sifting through comments from assorted randos necessary. Speaking of which, here’s my LinkedIn profile and portfolio, so feel free to stalk me.

How does it work?

Just shoot me an email below, tell me what’s up, and we’ll go from there. We can keep it email, do a video call, whatever works. Usually only takes me a day or two to get back to you.

What some actual people have actually said—

“Thank you so much, this is even better than the reviews we had in school!”

“You're the man! Thank you so much for your kind and thorough feedback. It's obvious you spent time with my work, and I'm glad you had fun with it.”

“I worked there a year and you were the first person to tell me “Good job.” Thank you!”
