Meet the Powerhouse.

For over 30 years, Brian has been crafting brilliant strategies for big brands, and working with some of the best and brightest minds in the business. His only regret is that he juuust missed the Mad Men era. Don’t let his laid-back approach fool you – Brian has lived every one of those 30 years like they were dog years, and there’s a lot of industry knowledge packed into that big brain of his. He used that knowledge to grow Wilson Advertising into the company it is today, turning a one-shot opportunity into a leading strategic and creative agency.

Throughout his career, Brian has been fortunate to work with a number of marquee brands: Titleist, Huffy Bikes, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, NCR, Teradata, Conagra Foods, Coca-Cola, Huntington Bank, and many others. He’s at his best when collaborating with companies to craft the vision that moves them forward… and inspires bold leadership to embrace the power of their brand’s authentic voice.

“My favorite part of the job is seeing our team smile when they know they’ve done well. A close second is watching clients become passionate and reenergized by the strategic vision and creative work we do for them. Being surrounded by a team with the confidence to conquer Goliath, entrusted by brands to lead them forward into next generation… yeah, that’s what I get out of bed every day for!”

“Life, love, kids (and animals – except snakes!). I believe life is a journey best experienced outdoors and on top of the world. When it comes to love, I’m passionate, compassionate, respectful and always on. I also have two of the very best and most special kids on earth. I know every parent thinks that, but I know it! I have one child with special needs, and a son who will one day own his own gig and go on to achieve even more than I have. I treasure them both.”

“I really would like to be one of the Beach Boys… from the 60s.”

I also love making explainer videos! I worked on these ones for ASG and Teradata.”
