While it may appear that Hello, Walter is an agency of some sort – a big building with people running around frantically answering phones and consuming pots of hot coffee while debating the next big idea, not so. Sorry, just me, Ron David Walter.
But that said I do have an impressive group of friends and associates who join up with me from time to time and help my ideas come to life in the ways you can see here.
This site is a snapshot of my twenty year journey as restless creative. Starting in one the most revered ad agencies in the country and ultimately leading to the entertainment capitol of the world – Hollywood. Along the way I’ve created award-winning ad campaigns and innovative branded entertainment concepts for some of the biggest brands in the country – everything from launching a new car company to creating a network TV series.
My approach – tell entertaining stories in which brands can naturally play a role -- and actively engage consumers in those stories through the media they passionately use and create. Stories that entertain, thrill and engage audiences in ways that deliver good vibes and measurable ROI. Pretty simple.
So the good news is that Hello, Walter is not an a big agency but can be if necessary. You can hire me to come up with some ideas or to deliver the finished product all ready to go.
