Kleber Menezes Runs SAP

I recently met my friend and long time collaborator, ad creative Kleber Menezes for dinner in Williamsburg and he choose an Argentinian restaurant; I thought perhaps that he was ill as he grew up in Brazil. He shrugged it off, “If the meat is good, I don’t care.”

Kleber is fantastic, but a little eccentric. Of course in advertising a little eccentric is a lot of good. We first worked on Xerox together for Young & Rubicam, and most recently on SAP for BBDO. Perhaps most importantly he also contributed the key idea behind my Jim Parsons shoot for Rolling Stone. His generosity, his sense of humor and his boldness make for a great experience and great work.
