Strategy Director · Milwaukee, WI
Hey, I'm Evan. I connect brands to culture. For real, not for optics.
Currently I am a Strategy Director at GMR Marketing, where I specialize on the intersection between culture, people, brands, and experiences. Outside of agency life: you'll find me being a father, a hiker, and a list-making connoisseur.
