HI, I'M ROBERT PRINS an Art Director & Creative Director working from Los Angeles. For over twenty-five years I’ve helped impact the creative at some the best Agencies on the West Coast. As a detailed ad craftsman, storyteller, writer, collaborator and leader I’ve developed creative integrated brand solutions across all media and platforms. The list of clients included airlines, automotive, sports equipment, technology products, food and more stuff. No matter the size of the client or the challenges of the problem working our a** off and smart conceptual thinking was always the first priority to improve brand image and sales. In 2009 I was brought in to help lead the creative department on the Hyundai brand and work to build the new Ad Agency Innocean USA. It grew from seven people to over 250 in five years while Hyundai grew to be the 5th largest car brand in the world. Along the way, we gathered numerous advertising awards and finalists at Cannes with some of the most talked-about ads on the Super Bowl. I’m madly in love with my wife Gloria a talented jewelry designer and entrepreneur with her online shop Belle’s Nest. Together we’re raising three amazing boys, one dog, and two really fat cats. That’s my story so far.
