The man behind Sprint’s award-winning 2009 “Now Network” campain, Paul Stechschulte, is headed to Pereira O’Dell as ECD. Stechschulte was most recently at Goodby Silverstein and Partners, where he worked as Group Creative Director and nominated for an Emmy for a Nextel television spot.

Stechschulte’s career has included stints at W+K Amsterdam, 180 Amsterdam and Crispin, Porter and Bogusky. His past work includes a campaign re-introducing the MINI for BMW to the United States and helping prevent teen smoking with the “Truth” campaign for American Legacy Foundations.

Pereira O’Dell CCO and co-founder PJ Pereira says of Stechschulte,”He’s worked at both small and big agencies, ran small and huge accounts, created both serious and oddball work, with both high end or low budget resources… and in all these different situations, he manages to make great work happen.”
