About Brock Horner

Experienced integrated project manager/producer with a passion for process and efficiency, particularly in the pharmaceutical and healthcare space. My experience has taught me, production, whether it be broadcast, print, digital or otherwise, is a true art form. Road blocks and challenges will occur, but a great producer knows where there\'s a will, there is a way. I work to find the way around a challenge to keep the project moving forward, and perhaps use that challenge to make the project even better. I\'ve also come to believe integration is the future. Yes, digital may drive most marketing efforts going forward, but broadcast, print, radio and other media will not die, they will evolve with us and continue to be a core part of marketing plans across all industries. That is why I have continued to put myself into an integrated role, working with experts in each field to learn from them so I am better able to service my client\'s needs in recommending and scoping new initiatives. My varied experience within CPG and pharmaceuticals has allowed me to explore several management styles, seeing what works and what doesn\'t. In my current role, I am able to take that knowledge and apply it to my own agency\'s new business efforts, with great success in driving team efficiency and the agency\'s growth. I\'ve also had the opportunity to mentor and coach a team of project managers in implementing my vision for our team which has provided a challenging, but rewarding, new experience. as I continue to grow my own skillset.
