ABOUT BRIAN
 



Brian’s creative journey began as a young producer in the vibrant theater scene of New York City. Through collaborations with Universal Arts and Fractured Atlas, he co-produced groundbreaking productions like The Beat alongside an extraordinary group of alumni from Stomp and Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk. These projects took him from New York to San Francisco and even to Harare, Zimbabwe’s International Arts Festival.

As a visual artist, Brian’s talent gained national recognition. He has shot for Newsweek Magazine and was featured in New American Paintings, earning acclaim as one of America’s best emerging artists.

Brian holds an MFA in advertising and fine arts from SCAD, where he earned awards and recognition in both disciplines. Currently at McCann, he began his advertising career at Grey while still in school and has made his creative mark at iconic agencies ever since. At JWT, he spearheaded "Battles Won," the first Super Bowl campaign for the United States Marines. At DDB, he led the creation of "What’s Your Warrior?"—the Army’s first comprehensive rebrand and major campaign launch.

His journey has also included creative stops at Droga5 London and VaynerMedia, where he worked alongside Gary Vee. There, his "Go Fourth, America" campaign resulted in Budweiser’s most shared content campaign to date. He followed that by delivering "A Clydesdales Journey," yet another highly celebrated Super Bowl spot that ranked as Budweiser’s number two ad across it's all-time campaign metrics.

From the theater stage to the Super Bowl, Brian’s career is a testament to his creativity, versatility, and passion for storytelling.
