Hi there. I'm Brian Cole, A freelance creative director that specializes in live action, post production, and digital editing.
Throughout my career I have directed, pitched, lead and collaborated with multi-disciplinary creatives to make content and experiences for leading brands and entertainment organizations. All of that experience has allowed me to effectively execute from concept to delivery on a wide variety of projects for television, experiential spaces, video games, and trade shows. I really enjoy the process, working with others, overcoming obstacles, and using my hands to make diverse and compelling stories.
COMBINING IMAGERY WITH MUSIC, DESIGN, AND NARRATIVE IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL FORMS OF STORYTELLING.
My professional career started in highly regarded and award winning Chicago post houses, where I worked on national broadcast commercials for agencies like Leo Burnett, Ogilvy & Mather, and DDB Worldwide. It was there that I learned the craft of post production, editing, and the work ethic it takes to survive in the world of advertising. After a handful of years I landed a position at Emmy Award winning digital agency, Digital Kitchen, where I expanded my skills of directing live-action, crafting concepts, brand strategy and having a unique voice in a world full of imitation. Take a minute to view some examples of my work.
