Keith Reinhard's Bio - Chairman Emeritus, DDB Worldwide gave birth to the Hamburglar and was responsible for McDonald's "You Deserve a Break Today" and for the Big Mac tongue twister, "Two-all-beef-patties-special-sauce-lettuce-cheese-pickles-onions, on a sesame seed bun." Mr. Reinhard penned State Farm's long-running theme, "Just Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm Is There." In 1999 Advertising Age named "You Deserve a Break Today" the best advertising jingle of the 20th century and one of the century's top-five campaigns. Under Reinhard's creative leadership, his agency produced award-winning work for Volkswagen, Anheuser-Busch, Frito-Lay, Dell Computer, JC Penney, Ameriquest and many others.

1. First off, how did you get started as an artist rep?

I saw it as a great opportunity to parley my skills as an editorial photo editor and producer and move to another part of the business, namely advertising and commercial work. So it was a “jump in[to] the deep side of the pool” thing, and after six months I landed a huge commission for a luxury car brand for one of my photographers and I knew I was on the right track. Eventually I switched to all illustration and animation after getting a bit burned out by the production side of photography. It proved to be a much more enjoyable experience.
