ABOUT IAN GUNNER

Hi, my name is Ian Gunner (or simply ‘Gunner’… unless you are my Nan). I am an award winning Creative Director, specialising in the areas of branded content and digital media. Over the last 24 years I\'ve been lucky enough to work within the ever exciting and evolving Action, Outdoors and Adventure sports space, most recently working with digital agency and media owner, Factory Media. My role was to be the ideas and vision across all of its branded content offerings, ranging from social first and video to experiential and TV. I made sure to be hands on from inception to pitch, creation through to delivery. And always worked closely managing a team of talented designers, editors and freelance content creators to bring the work to life. I have been lucky enough to work on many unusual, exciting and engaging branded content campaigns, some award winning or nominated, from a number of varied brands such asCasio G-Shock, DJI Drones, The North Face, Jeep, Vans, Seiko, Mountain Dew, Kärcher, Canon, Fitbit, Ford, British Airways, Red Bull, Mini, Monster Energy, Oakley, EA Games, Nintendo, Microsoft and Three Mobile. From the early days in my career leading footwear brand DC Shoes UK Marketing team, launching global brands (Fenchurch, Zoo York, Gumball to the Action Sports/Lifestyle market, to being Editor-in -Chief of one of the most successful BMX magazines in the world, and more recently working with consumer brands offering exciting, credible content solutions, I have tackled a number of various roles and challenges throughout the last 20+ years. and have loved every minute of it! I have recently taken on the challenge of Creative Director / Product Developer / Marketing Director for the Stay Strong Brand. A brand close to my heart, as it was founded to help support Stephen Murray (an X Games and Gravity Games Gold medalist BMX rider), who suffered a life changing accident back in 2007. Exciting times ahead for both the brand, Stephen and also myself. They say its good to talk, so if you want to discuss anything above, or Stay Strong, please feel free to get in touch - g••••••••@gmail.com
