Ray Campbell :: Bio+Resume
Ray Campbell started his award-winning career at the early age of 20 working on Toyota Motor Corporation— one of the largest automobile accounts in the world. Twenty-three years later, he has worked for almost every worldwide ad agency including Saatchi & Saatchi, Deutsch, Chiat Day, McCann Erickson, Grey Advertising, Foote, Cone & Belding and Young & Rubicam.
Here are just a few accounts he has worked on over the past 23 years: Lexus, Lincoln | Mercury, Mitsubishi Motors, Mazda Motors, Boeing Aerospace, Sony Electronics, Walmart, Procter & Gamble (Gillette, Cover Girl, Tide, Pampers, Swiffer, Febreze) Smokey Bear, Southern California Edison, Los Angeles County Library, Mattel Inc., The United Way, Sketcher Shoes, and Crystal Cruises.
On the political front, Ray has worked on more candidates, propositions and measures than he wants to admit. Winning 72% of all his campaigns.
In between politics and corporate campaigns, Ray shoots photography, short films and a few strokes over par. And if you surf the web long enough, you’ll see some of his work for NASCAR, Getty Images, AVP Pro Beach Volley Ball, and MLB.
On A Personal Note
Ray studied marketing & film at the University of Southern California. He has a 8.6 handicapp in golf. He surfs, dives, fishes, and plays guitar. And he definitely can not go a day without a cup of coffee. Or two.
