WORK EXPERIENCE:
Justin has been with Magnani since 1992 (13 calendar years-that's nearly 84 "agency" years). In a prior life he was a copywriter at Jerry & Joan Advertising in Chicago as well as a freelance Macintosh pre-press systems consultant (before anyone had even uttered the words "Photoshop it.").

EDUCATION:
M.B.A; Northwestern University, Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Improvisational Comedy, Second City Conservatory B.A., Journalism and Advertising; University of Oklahoma

PERSONAL ACTIVITIES AND INTERESTS:
Music; movie and gadget junkie; avid cyclist; musician, composer and audiophile; and amateur science geek. An avid cyclist, he's one of those people you see winding through traffic on his bike, if you travel through Chicago's Loop at rush hour.

QUOTE:
The dinosaurs were bigger and more powerful. The mammals were smaller, smarter and more adaptable. As far as determining which marketers will be successful, I'll put my money on the mammals every time.

WHY DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB?
It's the only job in the world where you can combine science, art, culture and a sense of humor to help companies be more successful. Oh, and I have never been fond of the thought of doing cost accounting all day.
