Bri Akakpo
By ADCOLOR June 27, 2017 |Originally born in Togo, West Africa, Bri’s family came to the U.S. as refugees back in 2000. Having moved around a lot gave him a global perspective and nurtured his creative curiosity, leading him to pursue advertising after he got his MBA. He officially started off his advertising career in NY at global agencies like Droga5, before finishing up at Wieden + Kennedy where he helped launched national brand campaigns for Fox Sports’ College Football, Fox Sports Brand, The 2018 World Cup, and Sprite. He now lives in LA working at Netflix as a manager on the global creative marketing team focusing on documentaries.
Knowing that it was truly a “village” of mentors and leaders who supported and paved the way for him, Bri has a passion for mentorship and paying it forward. As such he’s served with organizations like MAIP, Diversity Advertising Internship programs at his previous agencies, and current member on the Adcolor Advisory Board.
