5 Minutes with… Tris Gates-Bonarius
Creativity quite literally runs in Tris Gates-Bonarius’ blood. The daughter of two 1960 Madison Avenue adlanders, Tris enjoyed a childhood without creative ‘rules’ and was instead encouraged to experiment with blank paper and to explore her imagination. Nowadays she boasts over 20 years experience of working in the business and a CV that includes time at agencies in her native home New York, London, Germany and, most recently, Amsterdam, where she was creative director at Facebook’s Creative Shop. After just two years with the social network, Tris has been tempted back to agency life by FCB and is now the Global ECD for Beiersdorf, based in Hamburg. LBB’s Addison Capper caught up with her to find out more about this new adventure.
