Gary Bonilla is a strategist, team builder, speaker, coach and mentor: I sit by design, at the intersection of creative, technology and media, with results seeing by some of the world’s leading brands in the FMCG (CPG), beauty, fashion, luxury, entertainment and pharmaceutical categories – including P&G, J&J, Unilever, Nestle, Boots, Tous, Tiffany’s, Nickelodeon. I am obsessed with consumer behaviour and how it drives effective story telling. I began this journey two decades ago as a correspondent for ABC News. I transitioned into advertising to help launch first-to-market digital initiatives in the U.S. and Latin America on behalf of P&G and Toyota. And have spent the last decade leading strategy and content development teams on the creative agency, media agency and client side, in the U.S., Europe and Asia. My practice focuses on design thinking frameworks. Most recently I launched Ogilvy’s Makerspace: a cross functional team of “strategic makers”: strategists that output in the form tangible ideas and prototypes for speed to market. My approach benefits from the synergies built through my active investment in several start up accelerators and social enterprises.
