This week we are wrapping up the highlights of the Top 10 Creatives in Out-of-Home 2024!
Today’s spotlight is Michael McGraw, Senior Vice President and Executive Creative Director, at Clear Channel Outdoor.
McGraw is an accomplished, results-oriented, award-winning creative professional with over 25 years of OOH industry experience. He has long been recognized for his expertise in creating digital and traditional OOH advertising campaigns.
At Clear Channel Outdoor, he develops impactful Out-of-Home (OOH) solutions where creative excellence is a driving force. He leads a team of talented designers, producing eye-catching campaigns for national and local clients. Under his creative direction, CCOA took home its first Golden OBIE in 2020 for The Gospel of George.
Though McGraw could not be reached for comment in time for the deadline his public LinkedIn has telling recommendations.
“A super-driven, hard-working, creative-thinking badass, Michael creates an exciting and inspiring environment in which to work. He has an extremely broad range of knowledge and experience that always sparks a new point of view on a project or a different angle to solve a design problem. And his knowledge of late 1980s skate videos is impressive…” one former coworker writes.
He also is a contributing author on the Clear Channel Outdoor Blog.
