He launched his first newspaper with a carbon copier at 7, staged his first play at 8, and was hosting a kids’ TV show by 20. Naturally, he became a writer in 1993. Fast-tracked to international creative director at 27, he’s since lived and worked in Sydney, Warsaw, Moscow, Berlin, Paris, London, Zurich, Geneva and Vienna — picking up a habit for brand and personal reinvention along the way.
A friend nicknamed him “Romeyk’over.” It stuck, because it’s true.
He worked his way up to Worldwide Executive Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, then as overall international creative leadership of the Serviceplan Group — helping turn it into the world’s number one independent agency network — and most recently Global Executive Creative Director at Publicis Groupe, transforming UBS into the world’s first financial luxury brand.
He has been distinguished with various Grand Prix, Gold, Silver and Bronze awards at Cannes Lions, Eurobest, LIA, ADCE, ADC, CCA, ADCI, Golden Drum, Epica, Clio, and many other shows around the world with a tally of over 600 “gongs”.
A regular in the global rankings, he was 9th Group Creative Director in the world in 2023, then #1 in Europe in 2024. Four-time Cannes Lions juror. The work he’s proudest of: the HIV+ Issue, the Red Bull “Tunnel Pass Project,” “A Few Degrees More” and Katy Perry’s “Firework” which won the iconic MTV Music Video Of The Year.
These days the canvas has widened — a self-help book, a play, and a growing fascination with how humanoid robots get accepted into society.
“I just want to make great stuff happen. And that doesn’t just come from talent — you have to work harder than everyone else.”
