Hello website viewer!
I’m Mitch Swenson, a creative director who specializes in writing scripts, making memes, and crafting gamified activations.
It’s been a weird road to get here.
Before advertising, I worked as a reporter in the Middle East and Africa.
I made a newsgame about Syria, based on my field reporting, which has been played by over a million people.
I also wrote a book about a Russian spy I met in New York. It’s on its way to becoming a Hollywood movie.
And I created a fake defense contractor called Mission Systems that went viral on Instagram. It’s since been optioned for TV.
I’m a born and raised New Yorker. I’ve modeled in Tokyo (lol). And at one point I was ranked in the top 1% of Overwatch players.
In my time off I like to ski, surf, climb, dive, code, game, and make music.
Curious about any or all of these things?
Hit me up. Let's go somewhere new.
