About me
Andrew Reutsky is an award-winning art director who loves advertising… but not the advertising intended just to push a sale. He loves smart, strategic work that helps solve real-world problems and also enjoys fun, lighthearted work that makes people smile.
Born into a family of doctors in Siberia, Andrew moved to Toronto to study advertising. Upon graduation, Communication Arts named him as one of the 15 most promising young creatives in the world. Now an Art Director at Leo Burnett, Andrew has never stopped being a student.
He has worked with many Fortune 500, international companies as well as local businesses across a range of industries, creating media agnostic and 360, integrated advertising campaigns. And his work has received national and international recognition, getting featured in some of the industry’s leading publications.
Andrew is a reliable, respectful person with meticulous attention to detail. He hosts a book club of over 20 avid readers and spends his evenings going for long walks in the park, connecting with friends, and meeting new ones.
