About me

Brian has spent his career working to create a better world through advertising.

At B&T, he is one half of an independent creative director duo behind projects such as:

.PNG Protests, a project to combat disinformation in Russia by hiding independent news in the metadata of photos of Putin, that went on to become the #1 trending story on Apple News.

Best Friends Animal Society "Cat AI-doption," a project that had cats walk across computer keyboards and turned their keystrokes into AI artwork, which was covered in national press and resulted in 1000 cats being adopted.

UScellular "Built For US" - working with Martin Agency, we created a platform that disconnected people from their phones so they could reconnect with each other. And earned UScellular its first recognition on Fast Company's "Brands That Matter" list.

Before going independent, Brian was a Creative Director at 180LA, leading projects such as Boost Mobile's Boost Your Voice campaign, which turned Boost Mobile stores into voting stations in low-income neighborhoods to combat unequal voting access, alongside a number of impactful initiatives for University of Phoenix.

Brian's work has been honored by over 150 national and international awards, including two Cannes Lions Grands Prix, a D&AD White Pencil, and AdAge's Campaign of the Year. He has been named to AdAge's "Creatives to Watch," AdWeek's "Creative 100," Marcomm's "Magnificent Advertising Creatives" and Business Insider's "Most Creative People in Advertising."
