(copywriting-ish)

Here’s what happened: It was the year 2000 and an advertising agency hired me because I was a kid that loved designing things for the internet. But once they hired me, I kind of fell for advertising. My mission (and my niche) was finding ways to merge traditional advertising creativity with the rise of digital and social. Building that bridge was a little awkward at first. It’s funny to think that, back then, not everyone saw the inevitability of today’s advertising landscape. But here we are. And where we are is pretty amazing. I love working with brilliant people from all kinds of backgrounds to find great ideas and make them real. Together, we’ve made all kinds of ideas. Ideas that are fun, poignant, touching, big, hilarious, unhinged, or delicious. Ideas that are crafted with joy. Ideas that move business. Ideas that grow brands. And, at the top of the list, ideas that make people feel something good.

Fun Facts
Brian has never had a McDonald’s Hamburger (but he does eat hamburgers). He writes and performs in a comedy rock band. He can execute a perfect audio impression of a weed eater and an elephant, but not simultaneously. He has a SoundCloud account, but won’t give anyone the link. He witnessed an exorcism when he was a teenager and came out unscathed and un-posessed (as far as he knows). He only speaks in the third person when sharing fun facts.
