Bio
Zack Swire
I honestly don't know where to start with Peter. I'm simply blown away at his talent and who he is as a person. Before I met him, I had already seen his "Guy Walks Across America" spot for Levi's on YouTube and had watched it many times over. It was more than a strange coincidence that soon after seeing that video, I had coffee with Blake Heal, Peter's business partner. We connected and I knew both Blake and Peter were entirely unique, incredible thinkers, and amazingly talented. A few days later they moved into our building and since we've worked on numerous projects together. Conscious Minds has been an incredible alliance for SWIRE. They've grown so quickly they've recently moved into a great new space and continue to tackle new projects and bigger clients. Presently, they're working on a video for the launch of eGood, our new social good startup. I can't wait to see it come together and can't wait for everyone to see it. Knowing Peter and his team, it will not be just another youtube video, it will change the game. If you ever have the pleasure to work with Peter and Conscious Minds, you won't forget the experience. Peter and Conscious Minds are the real deal.
