DRIVER and co-founder

Scott founded DRIVER Media with JD Williams in 2001, and led the creation of DRIVER Digital in 2009 to leverage digital content’s unparalleled ability to engage consumers.

Scott helped build DRIVER Media to a company producing up to $65 million per year in commercial spending for clients including Microsoft, Pepsi, and AT&T, as well as ad agencies such as J. Walter Thompson and McCann-Erickson.

Before founding DRIVER Media, Scott spent time as a freelance producer with leading agencies, including McCann-Erickson, BBH, GSD&M and many others. It was during this age of early Internet exploration that he created some of the most memorable and downloaded down loaded commercials of all time.

Previously, Scott launched his agency career at DMB&B and BBDO, where he worked on accounts including Burger King, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and GE. He has partnered with world-class commercial directors, editors, animators, world class production companies and maintains these relationships today.

Scott began his career the old-fashioned way   by working his way up from the bottom. He started out as a production assistant, driving trucks in New York City traffic.

Scott was educated at the University of Colorado and in France. Passionate about the outdoors, Scott enjoys skiing and running. He was bitten by the travel bug long ago, and once spent an entire year circumnavigating the globe, an experience that informs his perspective and ambitions to this day.
