Hi, I'm Brian. aka BK.
In short, I'm an expert at helping brands speak up and tell their story. My special sauce is being able to look at your business, product or service from all different perspectives to find why it stands out. Having a diverse, minority background myself, gives me the insight to check out every angle possible - as nothing should be viewed as one sided. Also, I make certain I'm intentional about every last word, cause hey - they all count.
Beyond the realms of advertising, a few passions of mine include screenwriting, comedy, filmmaking, improv, travel, teaching, learning, pickleball, boxing, biking, volleyball, trivia, volunteering, mentoring and making the most out of every moment. Heck, I even learned to fly a small airplane like my grandpa did...just in case.
