Brian Town

Brian Town - Long Bio (FINAL) - 321 words Brian Town is an author, speaker, educator, and the founder of Michigan Creative, an award-winning branding and marketing agency specializing in web development, video, branding, and social media marketing, designed to help businesses systemize their lead generation and scale their profits. After earning his Bachelor of Arts in Telecommunication from Michigan State University and his MBA and Masters of Education from the University of Michigan, Brian spent the first 14 years of his career in education as a film and television production teacher at Haslett High School. He is the creator of The Vision 22, a nationally recognized film and TV production program. In addition to teaching at Haslett, Brian also spent twelve years as an educator at the United Association Of Plumbers and Pipefitters, where he taught journeymen and women to create their unique curriculum as they developed the next generation of skilled trades workers through their apprentice programs. In 2011, Brian scaled Michigan Creative, his award-winning agency, from a bootstrapped startup to the marketing and branding powerhouse it is today. His in-house team consists of 20 employees, and the company brings in over two million dollars in annual revenue. Michigan Creative specializes in supporting entrepreneurs and business owners in a variety of industries, ranging from knowledge-based experts to clients in manufacturing, building, and skilled trades. (this will change depending on who we are talking to) As a fractional CEO, Brian works with dozens of clients who want to scale without building out an entire marketing department so that they can stay focused on their areas of expertise and serve their clients and customers. In his forthcoming book, The Lonely CEO, Brian shares his insights and best strategies for avoiding resistance, solidifying your belief in yourself as the right person to run your company, and systemizing your marketing and hiring processes to grow and scale a sustainable business. Brian lives in Okemos, Michigan, with his wife Hollie, daughter Kora, and two giant dogs. Brian has three adult children all doing amazing things in the world.
