Andrew Harlow

Andrew Harlow serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Film department at ArtCenter College of Design, teaching PSA & Commercial Workshop courses (FILM-622-01 and FILM-422-01). His academic role bridges decades of high-profile industry experience across London, New York, and Los Angeles advertising agencies.

Harlow specializes in advertising film and commercial production, with a philosophy centered on creating work that is "pertinent, sometimes provocative, most of all, hard to ignore." His expertise spans creative direction for multinational campaigns, leveraging 16 years at London's CDP (where Ridley Scott and Charles Saatchi were contemporaries) and leadership roles at major Madison Avenue and Los Angeles agencies handling accounts like EMI Records, British American Tobacco, DHL, Black and Decker, Seiko, Farmers Insurance, and Sunkist.

Outside academia, Harlow actively contributes to industry development as a judge for the Association of Independent Commercial Producers student awards committee. He views his teaching position as a means to repay the mentorship that launched his career, focusing on igniting creativity in next-generation advertising filmmakers through hands-on workshops.
