Al Navarro's Email & Phone

Al co-founded Mint Advertising after 13 years in the industry (do the math and it adds up to 20 years total). His career began at the New York outposts of Grey Direct and J. Walter Thompson Direct, where he learned "old school" direct marketing. But things really started to happen when he moved to Rapp Collins (also in New York), where he worked on ADT Home Security, Delta Air Lines, Hyatt Hotels, and Mercedes-Benz. Al's work on the launch of the Mercedes M-Class Sport Utility Vehicle was honored with top awards in both the Caples and Addy Awards showsand garnered response rates as high as 59%. In 1998 Al took a break from advertising to work as the manager of Seize sur Vingt, an upscale clothing boutique in New York's trendy NoLita area. He is probably the only person you will meet in your search process who has been mentioned in GQ (positively!) and who once helped Leonardo DiCaprio avoid autograph seekers. Al got back into advertising in 1999 at IPG's Gillespie, an integrated agency in Princeton, New Jersey. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Al lives in Frenchtown, New Jersey, with his wife and two young daughters. He is fond of fly fishing, hi-fi, Ian Fleming novels, and Lotus Sevens.
