Bonn transitions to Mirum from his role as Executive Creative Director at sister agency J.

Prior to joining J. Walter Thompson, Bonn was the Executive Creative Director of Razorfish New York, managing the creative department across all agency clients. His leadership and dedication to creative excellence helped make Razorfish a market leader, earning the agency a top spot on the 2012 and 2013 Ad Age A-List.
“I am honored to be joining an agency steeped in entrepreneurial and collaborative roots,” said Bonn. “Technology is, now more than ever, creating new consumer behaviors and expectations. Therefore, it is essential for brands to deliver real value, and I am looking forward to creating unique and powerful solutions that people care about.”
Bonn came to Razorfish from Ogilvy Interactive in Paris, where he led the creative department and oversaw global campaigns and digital strategy for clients such as Louis Vuitton and Hennessy. He began his digital adventure in 1997 by opening the Interactive Bureau in Paris, following an early career in publication design.
Throughout his career, Bonn has worked with high-profile clients to create innovative projects such as the Louis Vuitton Journeys global campaign, the Mercedes-Benz Tweet Race and Smart Car’s social program. His work has been recognized many times over with awards from The One Show, The CLIOs, The Webby Awards, Effie Awards, Art Directors Club and London International Awards. He has served as a judge at leading creative award shows such as the Cannes Lions, the Art Directors Club and London International Awards.
