Gary Brosnan

Executive Creative Director with 20+ years’ experience building culture-led brand platforms and integrated campaigns across sport, entertainment, tech and FMCG. Senior leader at Wasserman, Edelman and Publicis and Former EMEA Creative Director at Amazon Advertising, trusted to raise creative standards, build high-performing teams, and deliver work that drives brand impact and commercial growth.

Board-level strategic leader and hands-on craft lead with a track record of leading multi-market teams, winning and retaining high-value clients, and creating distinctive brand experiences that earn attention, loyalty and action. Being a Creative Director in today’s world requires focus on modern creative systems: human-led, AI-accelerated workflows; scalable content systems for always-on media; and platform-native storytelling across social, video and live experiences. I unite traditional omnichannel creative storytelling with brand and performance-led media, designing governance that scales excellence fast, consistently, and stays culturally sharp.
