Cranial Garage is run by George Fuller, a copywriter and creative director who has, over the course of 30 years, found himself working successfully in both hemispheres. Though born a right brain person, he has developed an understanding of and deep appreciation for the world of the left brainer. You won't find anyone more committed to drawing the two hemispheres in question back together.
"I believe with every fiber of my being that the better creatives and account people work together, the better things will work out. And because I hate discord more than I hate bamboo under my fingernails, I'm the perfect guy to help you."
George Fuller
Background
George grew up in a small town in South Alabama on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay.
After graduating from the University of Alabama with a BA then an MA in journalism, he spent a number of years working as salad chef, folk singer, newspaper reporter and photographer, and VISTA volunteer. But not all at once.
A motorcycle wreck in Maine sobered him up. After tipsy hippies pulled him from the ravine into which he'd plummeted, he limped back to Alabama, and got serious. For the following 30-odd years, he has worked as a copywriter and creative director, both full time and freelance, for some very fine ad agencies. Small ones. Large ones. Agencies with myriad dispositions, aspirations, every conceivable problem. And with right brain and left brain people constantly at odds. Here's a partial list.
