George Tenne has two new gigs. For one, he will call on his four decades of experience in advertising to guide him. For the other, it’ll be his Bronx accent.
Recently named director of creative innovation at Stinson Brand Innovation, a Chicago startup that specializes in life sciences, Tenne also has landed a role as “Paulie Walnuts” in a suburban Chicago production of The Sopranos’ Last Supper. The spoof of the TV series represents his first stab at acting, but the 61-year-old New Yorker has had a long career in advertising—most recently working as director of creative services with Omnicom Group’s BBDO in Chicago.
At Stinson, “my role will be the creative resource, to pull in all [the shop] needs for creative,” Tenne said.
The agency was launched earlier this year by Mark Stinson, formerly president of healthcare specialist Hamilton Communications in Chicago.
