About Us
Winning is What Matters.

When winning is what matters, a 9-to-5 mentality isn’t going to get the job done. You want an agency that understands what’s at stake for your business and sweats the details to ensure success.

That’s why some of the world’s most respected brands turn to us for the strategic insights, crisis solutions and creative ideas that deliver impact. Come see how we’ve done it time and again for our clients.

Different by Design
Different by Design

Our uncommon collection of talent allows us to bring more value than what you experience with traditional public relations or advertising firms.

Our people have sat where you sit — as a client, board member, chief of staff, CMO or CEO. That experience brings perspective. When you work with Brian Communications, you have a built-in consultancy that can execute beyond your communications and marketing needs.

Let's Get Started
Bringing Big Ideas to Life.
As a strategic communications agency, we have the talent and the experience to handle projects across a variety of creative planes. Our team has extensive experience in crisis and issues management, social media strategy, branding/positioning and much more.
