About me

With a name like Niko Coutroulis, you might think running a diner would be the natural career path. Sure, I’ve thought about it, but as much as I love making souvlaki and tzatziki, ads are what I really love to make...and some spanakopita.

I’m an art director, but I can also write. I’m strategic, great with clients and a 360-thinker that always goes beyond the brief.

Here are some places I’ve been and clients I’ve worked on:
