Jon Drawbaugh has joined Mullen’s Los Angeles office as sr. VP, director of integrated production, a key role on the agency’s flagship Acura business. Drawbaugh will lead all production efforts on Mullen’s multiplatform creative content for the luxury automotive brand.
Drawbaugh comes to Mullen from FCB West where he led digital and social media production for Electronic Arts’ SimCity, a documentary short film for Kikkoman and an integrated brand campaign for Trulia.
Prior to FCB West, Drawbaugh was with Goodby Silverstein and Partners in San Francisco for seven years, where he worked in the automotive category on Chevrolet and with a number of high-profile brands, including Sprint, Hewlett-Packard, Dickies, Comcast, Cheetos, Denny’s, eBay, Starbucks and Kayak, garnering multiple international awards for creative and technical achievement.
Before his Goodby tenure, Drawbaugh worked freelance in San Francisco on projects for Microsoft, Hannspree, and Picture People. He started his advertising production career in NYC as a staff producer with MVBMS (now Havas Worldwide) on Philips Electronics, Subway, Coppertone and Partnership for a Drug Free America.
“I’ve dropped a piano on a wrestler, filmed a banana dancing on a stack of pancakes, knocked down a building with a pair of Dickies and partied with Chester Cheetah along the way,” said Drawbaugh. “I’m up for anything Mullen can throw at me and really looking forward to doing amazing work with these guys.”
