Scott Miner
Scott, Director of Creative Services for Technekes, is an anomaly in the business, a creative guy who "gets" the importance of melding great creative into communications that sell at every level. This type of thinking isn't even on the radar at other agencies - but Scott's been blazing the trail for over 15 years.
