TAMPA, USA // Troy Dunn dated his wife for 30 days before kissing her, and on that same day, he proposed. She said yes, and they’re now celebrating 28 years of marriage. Sometimes you just know, and you need to go for it.

Professionally, he is founder and CCO of Dunn&Co, a branding, advertising, and production agency located in Tampa, Florida. He opened the agency in 2003 following consultancy stints with ABC-TV and TV6, which found him living in Moscow, Russia, and Odessa, Ukraine, for two years. He’s worked on notable brands like GE, Starbucks, Hyatt, Trivago, Firehouse Subs, Perkins, and the Tampa Bay Lightning, and through the years has been recognized for excellence at The Clios, One Show, Emmys, Epica, NYF, Sharks, Obies, and Nat’l ADDYs. In 2022, his agency was named a Small Agency of the Year by Ad Age, and in 2023, he was inducted into the American Advertising Federation’s Hall of Fame for the State of Florida.
