Who is Plain Bizarre?
I am. My name is Peter Rudy and for more years than I am willing to acknowledge, I have been identifying and developing creative ways to effectively communicate what my clients do best. I am a writer by trade, a creative director by age, and a workhorse by habit.
While I have done my time at advertising agencies all over the country, the majority of my career has been spent as an independent contractor. Lasting as long as I have out in the cold is largely due to my ability to play nice with others and deliver high-quality work on time and on the mark.
My skill set is broad, my network of extremely capable colleagues is wide, and my work ethic is as Midwestern as a fried cheese curd.
