Steve Chavez

This seems to be the day to celebrate former Chiat/Day copywriters! Weclome home to Steve Chavez, who worked at Chiat/Day in 1987-89, 91-92, and 95-97. Says Steve ....

chiat/day was my first big job in advertising, hired by lee clow and chuck silverman. i returned two more times on long, long freelance gigs that may as well been staff. i learned how to do ads thanks to chiat/day. i was ballsy enough to walk up to jay one day soon after i was first hired and ask him what makes chiat/day work. he told he had two responsibilities at chiat, to provide "the right environment and the right opportunities". the rest was up to us pain-in-the-ass creatives.
