Amichay is former Chief Creative Officer & Joint Managing Partner (1994-2011)

Gideon Amichay led the agency to be a market leader in creativity and innovation, and one of the 3 biggest agencies in Israel since 1998. Won Israel’s best agency award – 7 times.

“Since 1990 I’ve been in the advertising business as a CCO/ Joint Managing Partner, building brands, designing hundreds of campaigns and solving business problems.

Nowadays, “creativity” has become a commodity. Everybody is busy doing creative things. That’s why I believe the place we need to aspire to, is innovation. Innovation is the key to success in the new world.

I put all my effort into combining these two, throughout dozens of multi-dimensional campaigns. Because the truth is, people don’t really hate advertising. They just hate bad advertising. That’s why changing tools or remixing old ones with new ones could change the result. I believe in creative problem solving. And only sometimes it’s an ad.

That is why I relentlessly strive towards coming up with INNOVATIVE uses of Media and Advertising, to engage people. And it works. Every brief or problem can lead to a breakthrough solution.”

At No, No, No, No, No, Yes ®, we’re always looking for challenging business problems or impossible briefs.
