Rob Siltanen
Chairman & Co-Creative Director

      Rob spent ten of his 16 years in the advertising business at TBWA/Chiat/Day in Los Angeles. In 1990, at the age of 26, he was made the youngest creative director in the history of the agency and headed Chiat/Day's largest account for nine years. Before his departure, in his role as creative director/managing partner, Rob oversaw five accounts with total media billings of over $700 million. His accomplishments include: Time magazine commercial of the year, Rolling Stone magazine commercial of the year, USA Today commercial of the year, Adweek commercial of the year, the Emmy award for commercial of the year, five commercials in the permanent collection at the New York Museum of Modern Art, the most successful new-model launch in automotive history, and the winning of virtually every top advertising-industry honor, from Gold One Show to Gold Clio to Grand Effie.
      Rob and his imaginative work have been featured in articles by The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. He has also discussed his work on a variety of television programs including Good Morning America and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
      Since forming Siltanen & Partners in November, 1999, Rob's work has continued to receive the highest acclaim. His ad campaign for Freeinternet.com, featuring a character called "Baby Bob," was turned into a sitcom for CBS. The Baby Bob Show was the first prime-time sitcom inspired by an advertising character, and was the 26th-highest-rated television show in America.
