Myra has many fans in the industry because she knows how to motivate people and bring out their best
work. Our work with Mars Wrigley is some of the most creative and highly awarded in the world for a
confectionery brand. I wasnt looking for someone who would just continue that tradition, I wanted

launch in the brands history.

Known for her ability to tap into pop culture and leverage social insights, Myra has spent her career
changing behaviors by creating cultures, in turn designing work that invokes brand loyalty. She received top
honors at Cannes, D&AD, and The One Show for Valspars Color for All project, which helped colorblind
people see color for the first time. Myras work on iconic brands, including Oreo and Radio Flyer, have
gained recognition within the industry.

Prior to FCB, Myra was an Associate Creative Director at Leo Burnett and a Senior Art Director at Digitas,
both Chicago based. Named to Adweeks Top 30 Creatives list in 2015, her work has been featured in

Im delighted to join the legendary creative ranks of DDB. The talent at DDB Chicago is firing on all
cylinders and ready to take our clients to the next level. Im psyched to be here with them, making work
that people give a damn about, said Nussbaum.
