Russ Rizzo is a Creative Director at Slap Global in New York City.

Before Slap, Russ was a Writer and Associate Creative Director at CALLEN in Austin, Texas. There, among other things, he created the voice for CALLEN's in-house gourmet dijon mustard brand, Bijan Mustardson.

Before CALLEN, Russ was a Creative at Mother in Los Angeles, California, where he wrote the “When All You Can Food is Think About” brand platform for Postmates. A year later, for completely unrelated reasons, Uber bought Postmates for 2.65 billion dollars.

Before Mother LA, Russ was a Copywriter at Barton F. Graf (R.I.P.) in New York City, where he mostly made work for Little Caesars and lost a bunch of new business pitches. Don't tell Gerry, but Russ had a lot of fun.

Before BFG, Russ studied Copywriting at the VCU Brandcenter in Richmond, Virginia. He also had fun there too as well.

Russ grew up playing competitive hockey in Buffalo, New York. He's gone unselected in the NHL Draft for 14 consecutive years, and is now playing advertising in New York City. Russ currently lives, eats, makes, and sleeps in Park Slope, Brooklyn with his creative partner and partner partner Casey Phillips. Together, their work has been awarded by Cannes, D&AD, The One Show, and more.
