Austin, Texas-based advertising agency GSD&M named John McAdorey as head of production.

He reports to CEO Duff Stewart.

Prior to his promotion, McAdorey was executive producer at GSD&M, supporting clients such as Pizza Hut and Fruit of the Loom. Before joining GSD&M, he was a director of production at McCann, overseeing campaigns for Verizon’s 5G, B2B, and Consumer businesses. This work included five consecutive years of Super Bowl campaigns.

 McAdorey was awarded multiple Cannes Lions, including the Grand Prix for Good for his work on March For Our Lives’ “Generation Lockdown” spot, which led to the passage of important gun safety legislation.

As a member of the agency executive team, he will also assist in business affairs and project management.
