Six Things You Didn't Know About Mullen's Margaret Keene
Posted in: Uncategorized
Longtime Los Angeles creative Margaret Keene spent a good chunk of her career at TBWA/Chiat/Day. The last few years she has worked mostly on auto accounts, at Publicis Groupe’s Saatchi & Saatchi and now at Mullen, which handles Acura. She joined the Interpublic Group of Cos. agency as executive creative director in July.
Throughout her nearly 20 years at TBWA, Ms. Keene worked closely with creative leader Lee Clow, now chairman of TBWA/Media Arts Lab. Her portfolio from her time at TBWA includes work for Apple, Levi’s, Taco Bell, Infiniti, Nissan, Pedigree, Whiskas and more. In 2011, she moved to Saatchi’s Los Angeles office as a senior creative on the Toyota account. Now that she’s settled in as the top creative at Mullen’s L.A. office, we caught up with Ms. Keene for the latest installment of “Six Things”:
1. She grew up in a trailer park. Ms. Keene and her mother spent much of her childhood in what Ms. Keene called a “mobile estate” in Orange County. “You know how everyone makes trailer park jokes?” she said. “They say things like, ‘You know how trailer park people are,’ and then I say, ‘I grew up in a trailer park,” a conversation that could end in an awkward pause. “If you ever think about trailer park trash, that’s me.”
