Hi, I’m Bryan. I look like that guy you know from somewhere. But no we haven’t met (unless we have?). As mentioned above, I’m a Creative Director / Writer, and I enjoy working on either side of that slash. My favorite ideas are equal parts smart and stupid. My favorite advertising people tend to be the same. I am serious about doing good work, but think we could all laugh a lot more along the way (and encourage clients to do the same!). Over the course of my adult life I’ve lived in Ohio, South Carolina, Alaska, Montana, New York, and New Jersey. Along the way I’ve been a toy salesman, event planner, whale-watching guide, and “cowboy”/manager at the Marlboro Ranch, before finding advertising. Perhaps this motley experience with such a wide array of people and personalities is what helps me forge meaningful connections with creatives and clients, alike. Or maybe it’s just that I remind you of that guy from somewhere.
