Gyro San Francisco Appoints Ronny Northrop as Executive Creative Director

“I’ve been lucky enough to work at a few places that were taking off over the years,” said Northrop. “That’s the type of energy you feel at gyro San Francisco the moment you walk into the building. I’ve always loved that kind of vibe. I look forward to seeing how far this office can go.”

While serving as Chief Creative Officer at Y & R, his team launched the global Microsoft Enterprise Cloud campaign as well as Blue Diamond Almonds, Clif Bar Family Foundation, Sandisk, Crystal Cruise Lines and Citrix. Northrop was also at Goodby Silverstein & Partners with a team that led the Sprint pitch, one of the agency’s biggest victories. Northrop’s work has received all the top creative accolades – Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clio, New York Art Directors Club, One Show and more.

Prior to Goodby, Northrop saw Crispin Porter + Bogusky’s rapid growth between 2002 and 2005. He worked on some of the agency’s most famous work – Burger King, Ikea, truth, Mini and Virgin Atlantic.

He is looking forward to serving as a strong mentor to those at gyro San Francisco. This is a role in which he is intimately familiar. He has taught at Miami Ad School for years, worked as an instructor for the One Show and founded Y&R’s “Wrestling Club” innovation lab.

“Gyro delivers a simple and powerful humanly relevant creative ideas. Throughout his career, Ronny has excelled on this front,” said Christoph Becker, CEO and CCO of gyro. “ He has already made an immediate impact on our valued client partners. I expect only great things from him as gyro: San Francisco continues to propel its creative excellence forward."
