SKEET HANKS

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

(aka Big Man on Campus)

With a 25-year career in advertising, creative design, art direction, and web development under his belt, Skeet brings an immense amount of experience to Novella —all served with a New Orleans flair!

In addition to creating award-winning campaigns for brands including Popeye’s Fried Chicken, French Market Corporation, Harrahs Casinos, and Deanie’s Seafood, he has been a direct consultant on the marketing plans for many others. Over the years, he has won over 30 ADDY awards for his work, including two Best of Print awards, eight BMA Fountain Awards, and a gold sticker from his 1st grade teacher for keeping quiet in class…once. An accomplished musician, he has written advertising scores and theme songs for companies including Boudreaux’s Jewelers and Keep Louisiana Beautiful.

As part of the Novella team, he works with clients creating cohesive brands that work both online and off. Skeet develops visual branding along with designing websites that are as beautiful as they are functional.

It’s also not beneath him to wear a dog costume, he did it for the New Orleans Saints for nine years, as Gumbo, the beloved St. Bernard.
