Brian Carley

Brian started playing in visual mediums at a very early age. Initially influenced by monsters from old horror films and the comic books that he used to steal from his older brother, he would spend hours copying the images and creating his own. He continued to draw, paint and write well into his formative years (and still does today, although more for clients and less for his own amusement).

These days he applies his love of art and design to the work that he is currently doing in marketing and advertising. He currently works as Executive Creative Director at ROKKAN, a boutique multi-disciplinary agency based in New York, NY where he leads the creative department.

Prior to that he worked as Executive Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, Creative Director at JWT, and others. He has been working in advertising since 1998, when he started coding websites in HTML using Notepad. While his expertise is largely in the world of digital, he happily works in any and all mediums.

He has successfully created campaigns for clients like: Trident Gum, Lenovo computers, Ford, 2K Games, JetBlue, Stride Gum and many others. He has received numerous awards and recognitions for his work including: Cannes Cyber Lions, One Show Interactive, The Effies, The FWA, Webby Awards, Pixel Awards and many others. In his free time he likes to write and perform music. He currently resides at his home in Brooklyn, NY.
