Keith Olender Vice President of Creative Operations
Which campaign are you most proud of?
I definitely feel a sense of pride in any project that contributes to our clients' success. One project that sticks out is the Winter Classic hockey game at Wrigley Field. Designing and producing banners/signage, we helped turn the iconic baseball venue into an outdoor hockey arena to celebrate the unique event!
What was your first project?
Recreating the packaging for Nutri-Pak fertilizer. Client only had previously printed packaging to go from. We had to recreate all graphics and print on special stock that would allow a plastic blister to adhere to the package.
What inspires you?
The determination of someone to accomplish their goals....not for fame or fortune, but to prove to themselves any challenge can be met.
What is your passion outside of the office?
Family, fitness and learning!
What is your favorite part of the job?
Watching ideas transform into actual products and not knowing what the next day will bring!
What is your favorite quote?
"It takes ten Attaboys to make up for one Oh Sh!t"
How long have you been with the company?
I’ve been with FGS since January of 2006.
What is your role?
To maintain the highest level of creative services we offer to our clients as well as contribute to an awesome Operations team.
What is your favorite place you’ve traveled?
Italy...hard to top Rome, Florence and the Vatican.
