WHO IS grewvy?
Dennis Pettigrew, creative director, is grewvy.
As an advertising and design veteran with global, national and regional brand experience developing integrated marketing and design campaigns, I have been fortunate enough to work with an eclectic mix of high-profile brands within tech, QSR, retail, CPG, beer, wine, spirits, real estate, entertainment, automotive and more. Able to think across various mediums, I'm as comfortable with film and print as I am with activations and social executions. As a highly conceptual, design focused, hands-on creative director, brand strategist and content creator, my aim is to create smart, strategic, aesthetically pleasing work that makes clients nervous – in a good way.
After UCLA, I graduated in '97 from CSULB with a BFA in Advertising & Design. I've since worked as an integrated ECD, CD, AD and Designer at agencies such as FCB, Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners, Alcone, INK Agency, Organic, Inc. and Voicebox Creative.

MY PROFESSIONAL GOALS ARE SIMPLE:
 Do great work with the best people and simplify everything.

I LIKE:
Being a visual raconteur, street tacos, art and design, listening, learning, kerning, film and photography, honesty, having an abundance of curiosity, americanos, technology, tikis, poké, adventure travel, adventure food, patience, surfing, crowd surfing, stage surfing, listening to analog with a little distortion, double IPA’s and great pinot noir's, painting, simplifying and the relentless pursuit of…
