Currently an Executive Creative Director at Le Truc, Dustin Tomes is a product of the Midwest — growing up on a farm in rural Nebraska. After starting his career at a small agency in Lincoln, he went on to Crispin Porter + Bogusky. From there, he spent time at Leo Burnett, TBWA\Chiat\Day, Saatchi & Saatchi and Droga5.

An internationally-awarded creative, Dustin's work has been recognized by the likes of One Show, D&AD, Cannes Lions, Webby Awards, Clios, The New York Times, Fast Company, Vice and George R.R. Martin. Yes, that one.

His work on Facebook was awarded the coveted Yellow Pencil by D&AD. While his work on the Game of Thrones Super Bowl ad was named Adweek’s Best Ad of the Year and deemed "The biggest and boldest marketing tie-in ever orchestrated" by the Wall Street Journal. His documentary "Monowi" for Prudential was an official selection at Doc NYC, the country's largest documentary film festival, and was a finalist for One Screen.
