About

“There’s something about everything you don't like.”
– Grace, 10

DAN BRINDLEY

I’m drawn to impeccable creative, talented people and phenomenal coffee – and I’m happiest surrounded by all three. I work hard and speak with sincerity. Brands that use authentic tension to their strengths charge my curiosity.

As a group creative director, I lead a portfolio of brands with a team of people across account, creative, strategy, project management, media and digital practices. I lead the creative ideation and execution of client campaigns and communications through brand development, digital, experiential, illustration, motion, photography, print, radio, social, television and video.

I help clients successfully reach their audiences by believing that thoughtful creative strategy and clear communication comes first. I’m a problem solver. There’s always a way to achieve an objective – and I love to find as many ways as I can.

I build strong, lasting relationships with teams, clients and creative partners through a foundation of trust and honesty. I love helping passionate creatives grow in their roles and maintain close friendship through their careers. I’ve had the opportunity to work in a wide range of mediums, industries and markets. I like to keep my sword sharp.
