I’m Grant. A marketer, strategist, creative director, and animated gif lover based in Southern California.
I have built and led teams, both in-house
and at creative agencies, on both coasts, marrying unconventional approaches with strategic insights and data-driven tactics,
to position and build brands for long-term success.
Over the course of my career my work has been covered in some of the globe’s most important media outlets. And I’ve shared
my POV on the marketing industry both in person and in print.
Outside of work I try to spend as much time as possible in the ocean, the garden, the ceramics studio or the kitchen.
Let’s connect on Linkedin or email.
