barrettSF has hired Aryan Aminzadeh, an award-winning copywriter and creative director who has created campaigns for brands such as Virgin America, Kia, Head & Shoulders, AT&T, Aria Resort & Casino and Dignity Health. She will serve as creative director for the advertising agency, which counts 2K Games, Rubio’s Coastal Restaurants, Bleacher Report and the Golf Channel among its clients.
Aminzadeh joins barrettSF from Eleven Inc. and has worked at various agencies bearing ampersands, including Saatchi & Saatchi, David&Goliath and Pereira & O’Dell. Career highlights include Virgin America’s six-hour commercial for “BLAH Airlines” and recording a jingle with Naughty by Nature. While her work has been recognized at The One Show, CLIO, and Cannes Lions advertising festivals, Aminzadeh says her mom still doesn't quite get the idea that her daughter writes commercials—she think she stars in them.
“I feel like we found the next advertising superstar in Aryan,”
said barrettSF co-founder Jamie Barrett. “We’ve been huge fans ever since her
work on Virgin Airlines, and we can’t wait to take partial credit for the
brilliant work she does here at barrettSF.”
