Wayne Best - Founder, Creative Director

In his 20 years in the business, Wayne has had the opportunity to play football with Steve Young, blow up a Yugo, fling Jessica Simpson through the air, blah...

Wayne Best is the co-founder of Cog NYC, where he is helping brands blur the line between advertising and entertainment.  Prior to founding Cog NYC he was Executive Creative Director at JWT where he created the primetime CBS animated holiday special Yes, Virginia for Macys, as well as campaigns for JetBlue and Cadbury.

Wayne has worked at TAXI, Fallon, Wieden + Kennedy, Kirshenbaum + Bond, Cliff Freeman & Partners, Ammirati & Puris and, well, N.W. Ayer. His clients have included ESPN, Starbucks, Pepsi, Virgin Mobile, Coca-Cola, Time Magazine, Fox Sports and many others.

His work has won Cannes Lions, One Show pencils, Effie’s and many other awards. Creativity Magazine called his Virgin Mobile “Chrismahanukwazakah” commercial the best holiday spot of all time. Last year he was a jury chair for the Art Director’s Club Hybrid awards, which honor the year’s most innovative, game-changing work.
