AdLab gets up to Mischief with Ariana Revelas, COM’21, and Team

On Monday, October 28th, AdLab was buzzing as we welcomed back our all-star alumna Ariana Revelas, her brilliant colleague Alison Whisenant, and their team from Mischief! Ariana, once an AdLab Account Executive, now a Senior Account Executive at Mischief, shared the spotlight with Managing Director Alison, who boasts an impressive career with agencies like MullenLowe and Ketchum.

If you’re not familiar with Mischief, let’s just say they’re known for shaking things up in the advertising world with bold, unconstrained creativity. From quirky, unforgettable campaigns to cheeky storytelling, they’re redefining what it means to make a splash in advertising—and that’s not just our opinion! They recently snagged GQ’s spot as the #1 Agency of the Year on their list of the “20 Most Creative Companies in the World” for 2024. Mischief’s unique mix of innovation and playfulness makes them the ad industry’s very own rebels with a cause.

AdLabbers had a blast during the Q&A, as Ariana, Alison, and the Mischief team delivered honest, humorous insights on what it’s really like working in advertising’s fast lane. From creative brainstorming to the whirlwind of production, they shared both the highs and lows of the job, revealing what it takes to make memorable campaigns. Ariana emphasized the importance of curiosity and networking—both essential ingredients for success. Each Mischief team member gave us a behind-the-scenes look at their roles, highlighting the colorful, ever-changing world of advertising.

It was a perfect blend of inspiration and laughs, giving AdLab a front-row seat to the magic behind Mischief’s success. Huge thanks to Ariana, Alison, and the Mischief team for bringing their energy, wit, and wisdom to AdLab—it was a day full of creativity and insights that we won’t forget!
