Bio
Chris Brunner
Ed's a sharp creative mind with the gravitas to win the hearts and minds of clients and those he works with. I was excited to be drafted by a talent like Ed and have the opportunity to work with him. Ed understands the confluence of content and design and helped to steer the agency toward greater content integration and deeper content thinking. We only got to work together for 6 months, and I'm jealous of whoever gets to work with him next. A great talent.

Working with Ed has been such an impactful and positive experience. He inspires his team to be the best version of themselves while staying motivated and excited about delivering the best results. Just a few of the reasons why he is an outstanding leader. His understanding of the industry from multiple points of view and wealth of knowledge, ranging from technical to creative allows him to always find the right answer and approach to any problem. I consider Ed to be an excellent person and leader and I would be more than happy to work (or share a beer) with him in the future.
