At PMG, it’s rare that opportunity knocks. That’s because Brian usually opens the door before it can. Known for his big, blue-sky thinking and ability to upend conventional strategy, he repeatedly finds opportunity where it’s least expected. That’s what makes him our resident sage. Whether it’s predicting trends, identifying opportunities or weaving results-oriented marketing plans, he’s perpetually ahead of the curve.

Brian’s path to PMG took him from marketing at Dow Chemical to account services at ad agencies Ogilvy & Mather and PGC. His final stop was at AT&T Wireless for eleven years, where he pioneered co-marketing programs with partners like MTV, Disney and the NFL, among other feats. True to form, Brian saw an opportunity to build a dynamic, wireless marketing organization at the nexus of divergent business needs and an emerging, mobile marketplace. Thus, PMG was hatched with colleague, Kim Strappazon.

Since then, Brian’s vision of where wireless can go has expanded well beyond the predictable. Not surprising for someone who, despite a brown thumb, has become a prolific, Jewish Christmas tree farmer.

People would be surprised to know: I have a 65-acre farm. My crop consists of 80,000 Christmas trees. I am a Jewish Christmas tree farmer. But, we call them Hanukah bushes, and they are all Kosher.
