Hey, I’m Evan.
Throughout my career, I have seen marketing from every angle: as an employee, as a client, and most recently, as the founder of my own agency. Through it all, I believe the best work is created from the perspective of the consumer. Nobody wants to be marketed to — they want to experience something. I'm passionate about making that happen on behalf of today's boldest brands and companies.
With 15 years of experience, I bring expertise across integrated production, operations + logistics, creative project management, and business development. I've had the privilege of working with today's top brands across every major vertical and winning a few awards in the process. But nothing excites me more than the opportunity to lead a team in making impossible ideas happen.
