Executive Producer

About Us:

Copacino Fujikado is a fiercely independent agency, born and raised in the upper-left corner of the US. Seattle, to be exact. A progressive, iconoclastic city that’s no stranger to big ideas. So it makes sense it’d be home to an agency with untamable creative energy.  We’ll blame ourselves for some of the region’s population uptick, too—we’ve attracted talent from places like New York, Boston, Bangkok and Oahu. More than half our team are Seattle transplants.
