About Bryan Pray

I love telling stories. I\'ve been doing it for over 20 years in one form or another. I believe discovering, distilling, and telling the brand story is incredibly important. I\'ve been lucky enough to be able to bring my skills in production, performance, and writing into the corporate world to help companies find ways to better represent who they are and why their consumer should pay attention.As a creative director, I try to help my clients find their true story, distill it down to its purest form, and communicate it effectively across multiple channels.As a producer, I work to find the most cost effective and efficient way to produce complex marketing and event programs fo my clients. I work to become a trusted advisor and strategy consultant to my clients so they think of me as their utility infielder. Whatever task, problem, or program they need help on, they can plug me in and trust that I\'ll do it the way they would do it themselves.As a corporate speaker, I represent Fortune 500 brands like HP, Intel, Citrix, Nvidia, Netscout, Futurex, Smith & Nephew, and many more. Whether producing, writing, creating media, or presenting, my 20+ years in the field of event production, brand marketing, and experiential development always push me to ask,\"How can this be executed better?” This production-minded quest for perfect execution, mixed with the creativity of an artist in a business world, mean that together we can bring your story to life. Technical Specialties: Production management of large scale events and integrated marketing programs, contract negotiation, casting, direction, technical expertise in a large variety of audio/visual components, budget allocation, client and vendor relations, on-site direction and program management, post-show metrics, brainstorming, creative theme development, writing, media production, filming and editing, speaker training, and professional presenting.
