Mike Brown | Creative Executive + Visionary Storyteller + Strategic Leader
I am a Creative Director and Strategist working for over 20 years crafting transformative brand experiences across the built environment that accelerate growth, engagement and equity. My expertise lies at the intersection of storytelling, placemaking and cultural development to help companies and communities realize their potential through strategic foresight and inspired design.
I partner with clients to turn complex challenges into impactful, results-oriented solutions at scale — from the experience economy to cultural placemaking. I balance visionary thinking with business acumen to lead world-class initiatives that fit into corporate and creative strategies — on time, on budget and on brand. And I excel where investment meets innovation, partnerships spark wonder, and “what could be” becomes reality.
A gifted storyteller, I transform stories into spaces that inspire belonging. My north star is connecting people to place and I partner with agencies, brands, architects and developers to turn vision into reality, leading initiatives from concept to completion. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to excellence in design, I guide clients in identifying and pursuing growth opportunities that yield tangible results and inspire progress, culture to commerce.
Core Strengths:
Strategic Placemaking: Developing multi-platform initiatives at scale that accelerate growth across culture and commerce
Creative Vision: Intuitively left- and right-brained thinker inspired by the future and what could be
New Business Development: Visionary storyteller balancing the business value of creative to win enduring strategic partnerships
Results-Oriented Leadership: Intuitive leader inspiring clients and teams to pursue and achieve excellence
