Park, a member of the CLIO Hall of Fame for advertising, is the creative director at Williams Whittle, an agency in Old Town Alexandria. How did you get into advertising? I went to the Maryland Institute College of Art. I answered an ad in the paper for a print production artist because there weren’t any sculptor jobs listed. So this wasn’t what I intended to do. It was a very exciting job as a young guy. It was very glamorous to get into.
How was advertising different in those days? There were a lot of characters around back then. With illustrators and admen, there was an outrageousness and humor that permeated all the advertising. You certainly got a lot of attention.
