My name is Mike Behrends. I was supposed to be the 5th-generation Behrends to take over the family farm but then I chose a life of letters, ending the succession. These are the stakes I bring to the table.

I’m currently a creative director at Fallon on Arby’s, overseeing teams from New York, Minneapolis, and satellite offices across like 4 time zones. I’ve worked both in-house and at agencies, leading and developing creative for brands like Target, Buffalo Wild Wings, H&R Block, Entenmann’s, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Trolli, plus some bonus work with Pusha T, Old Spice, and ESPN SportsCenter by way of ✨𝔟𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔡 𝔭𝔞𝔯𝔱𝔫𝔢𝔯𝔰𝔥𝔦𝔭𝔰✨

Please enjoy this curated selection of work. It’s not all ads because I’m not all ads. For example sometimes I dunk ferociously on people and get the 𝕒𝕟𝕕𝟙

It was effective because Block ran the the work 3 tax seasons in a row despite changing agencies and launching a new masterbrand campaign.
