🍖So Much Arby’s🍖
Here’s a pile of Arby’s spots I wrote as lead writer on the business, wherein we advanced the iconic We Have The Meats! campaign, partied with Scott Van Pelt at ESPN in Bristol, opened a steakhouse with a NFL Hall Of Fame runningback, shoved people’s heads into a soft turkey carcass, somehow became The Official Restaurant Of The PGA Tour, navigated production shutdowns at the beginning of a pandemic, and won some awards.
🏆 EFFIES, AdFed Best In Show
I’ve written over 10,000 Arby’s scripts. These are my favorites.
CD(s)—Charlie Wolff & Joanne Torres
AD(s)—Chris Berry, Rob Anton, Matt Terrell, Jon Moehnke

Hey I’m Mike. 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 am currently a creative director at Arts & Letters Creative Co. Previously I was a CD at Fallon on Arby’s. I’ve worked in-house and at agencies on 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✨
