Fallon Creative Director Kerry Feuerman said, “Pelle and Calle are a unique combination of enormous creative talent who think Web-centrically and work well together as a team. Their ideas are heavily consumer-participation driven and get consumers talking and behaving in ways they otherwise wouldn’t.”
Feuerman plans to merge Pelle’s traditional ad agency background with Calle’s interactive industry experience, bringing the two disciplines together on one team.
“This is a great opportunity to finally use the Internet the way it’s supposed to be used—as a platform for great marketing,” said Calle. Pelle added, “Fallon has a great track record and the ambition to invent new forms of media and advertising formats, which aligns with our background and goals.”

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.
