In 2009, Bryan served as a consultant to The United Nations on the creation of a new website, communications, and document repository for UN Rule of Law activities used by the public and over 150 member states.
Additionally, since 2011, Bryan has been a founding partner and creativer director for Arts Olympus, a non-profit uniting artists and leaders from all parts of the world on a touring mega-ship. Dubbed a “Davos of the Arts on the High Seas,” it involves partners in art, theater, broadcasting, tourism, together with leaders in philanthropic and diplomatic circles.
With two 10-pound baby boys born 13 months apart in 2010 & '11, Bryan also served as VP of Diapers, reporting directly to his wife, and, at one point, progressed to a C+ in his second-quarter date-night performance review.
Wanting to capitalize on his multi-disciplinary creative tendencies as well as the emerging convergence of traditional advertising with public relations, original content creation and social/digital/experiencial activations, Bryan joined Edelman in 2013 as Senior Vice President, New York Group Creative Director.
There, Bryan was tapped to lead creative across all practices for what is the largest office of the largest PR and social/digital firm in the world, with a mandate to help raise the firm's strategic and creative output, drive its progression from pure PR to a broader communications marketing firm with access to a greater share of clients' marketing budgets. He served on Edelman's Strategic and Creative Guild and Guild Steering Committee, represented the agency at Cannes where in 2014 Edelman won the PR Grand Prix and three gold awards, and helped foster the delicate integration of over 70 strategic planners and creatives into the firm's PR core. In partnership with many others (as always) he conceived multi-disciplinary campaings for clients such as Bayer, Pfizer, BMS, ADP, Trojan, GAP, Staples, Unilever and eBay.
Since 2015, Bryan has made himself available as a freelance creative serving agencies such as Golin, Taylor, Zeno Group, Propulsion, Savinrock Entertainment and direct to clients including The OECD, EcoEnterprises, and CHANCE magazine, while concurrently finishing a work of literary non-fiction titled, Divine Or Otherwise, a memoir about the incredible moxie of the muse, currently entering the agenting stage.
Bryan is a recipient of over fifty international awards and certificates, including those from the New York, London, Cannes, Montreux, Lausanne, and Houston International Film, Television, and Advertising Festivals, The One Show, Clios, Media Awards, AsiaSpike, Eurobest, Telly, Quazars, 4As, M&M, and Effies, including 16 gold awards and 6 grand prix.
Consistent involvement in noble causes such as The International Red Cross, Housing Works, children’s literacy, HIV/AIDS, the rainforest, and the fight against pollution have earned him citations including the Max Weber Memorial Award and recognition at the United Nations with a UNDP Gold Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Interest of Public Service.
A fine artist spanning all mediums, Bryan’s first public solo exhibition of paintings was held in 1993 in Barcelona’s Els Quatre Gats, the venue of Pablo Picasso’s first exhibitions. His work is in the corporate collections of Steelcase Ltd, Canadian Pacific, and in private collections in seven countries. International projects include “Cocoons,”- the public installation of sculptures in and around Paris at cites such as Le Bibliotheque National de France, Pont Des Arts, and Le Site De Creation Contemporaine--Musee D’Art Modern. Recent group exhibitions include The Story of the Creative at The Angel Orensanz Foundation, and the inaugiral exhibition at Brooklyn gallery Ernest Newman Contemporary. He is a 2013 Award Nominee with the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
A musician and composer with an embarrasingly cheeseball teenage rock band pedigree, Bryan has been in and out of recording studios since the age of 14. At 17, he composed for the feature film Ups and Downs by director Paul Almond. Recent projects include score for the 2010 short film Soul Searcher (Brad Spencer, Director, New York HD & D.C Independent Film Festivals. Grand Jury and Best Screenplay prizes) and sound design for the 2011 off-broadway debut of Orange Alert (Leslie Silva, director, Algonquin Seaport Theater.)
A Canadian, born in Montreal, Bryan speaks English & French and received his US greencard as an Alien of Outstanding Ability.
