In 2002, Paul and colleagues reintroduced the MINI brand to the US for BMW. The highly successful launch did not include a single television ad; unheard of in the US automobile category. Additionally, Paul's work for the American Legacy Foundations "Truth" campaign is credited with preventing over 700,000+ US teens from starting to smoke.

"Paul has one of the most well balanced portfolios out there," said PJ Pereira, Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder of Pereira & O'Dell. "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."

When not thinking about his clients' business, Paul spends time prepping the future of the industry by teaching and participating on the Board of Advisors at the Creative Circus in Atlanta. He graduated from the Circus in 1997.
