Vince Lim

A problem solving artistic story teller with workaholic tendencies fueled by tech wizardry.
As an Army brat, I grew up in a bunch of different cities, absorbing diverse cultures and perspectives along the way. I understood early on, that any subject can generate infinite viewpoints. This served me well as a fine arts and design student and it has served me well in my 20+ career in advertising—which has included stints in Ireland, Germany, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. My unique background and experience in agencies around the world helps me offer uncommon solutions for some of the world’s most famous brands.

After working in BBDO Dublin as the creative lead on Guinness, Budweiser and Carlsberg, I moved back home became a Creative Director at McCann, New York, leading the global brands of Lockheed Martin, Qualcomm, Microsoft, State Street Global Advisors and KraftHeinz. I was one of the lead creators behind “Fearless Girl”. Also responsible for killing Mr. Peanut and resurrecting him as Baby Nut.

After I took on the role as Head of Creative / Executive Creative Director at Argonaut New York and help launch and establish our East Coast presence, I am now the Chief Creative Officer of Barbarian.

And though I love advertising and my sneakers, my true joy comes from raising my two boys alongside my endlessly patient wife.
