Bio
Drew Mauck
In an industry awash with young and ambitious but often inexperienced professionals, Brian brings a steady hand and an acute ability to get to the point. Don't get me wrong, you will have a great time working with BG, but his decades of PR craftsmanship means he may quickly find the story angles that matter, and deliver them in a compelling data-driven way. "Only hire people you'd work for." That's a work adage and it rings true with Brian.

Brian Garrido is fun, charming, professional, forward thinking and an absolute delight to work with! After just a short conversation he quickly analyzed my needs and presented several ideas off the cuff that have created valuable opportunities for my brand. His keen ability to create compelling stories blows me away! Brian just gets it. He gives sound, candid advice and his dealings are always of the highest standard. I recommend Brian without hesitation and am proud to call him my friend. I consider myself very lucky to have him as my secret weapon in Journalism, PR & Marketing!

Choosing a Public Relations agent was big decision for us. We struggled with finding the right person to speak for our brand and company. Brouwerij West hired Brian to work with us on our 4 year old brand and our brewery/restaurant build out in a historic WWII warehouse in the Port of Los Angeles. We have been impressed by Brian's ability to understand and communicate to the world the core of our brand, our project and the future of Brouwerij West. He's not a full beer geek yet...but we are working on it. We look forward to a long partnership with Brian and we recommend him to everyone we can.

Marketing Director

Mar 2019 - Jul 2019
I implemented the best creative marketing and communication tactics for a group of independently-owned luxury and architecturally significant hotels in Palm Springs (La Serena Villas, The Three-Fifty Hotel, and The Del Marcos) and the restaurant, Azucar. The Resort experiences include three pools, a rooftop lounge (Sugar High), and an intimate spa, Whispers. As Marketing Director, the job functions were to guide and provide balance to the overall business structure while driving revenue. During this time, I effectively worked in tandem with the ownership on projects that included local, national, and regional outreach implementing successful communications and public relations programs, both internal and external. With strategy, leadership and workplace kindness, I've effectively engaged the marketing/communications team and outside vendors, designing plans which aided in branding and awareness of the trio of hotels.
