Since I started my first job in the marketing industry 25 years ago, I made it my mission to explore everything this career has to offer. And while I’m not there yet, I have been fortunate to have created world-class, award-winning and breakthrough brand experiences all throughout the target journey. I am currently Vice President CMO Services + Creative Lead at Westlake Securities that helps mid-sized companies achieve their business goals by improving their branding and marketplace presence through strategy and creative excellence. Prior to that I was a VP Executive Creative Director at TPN Chicago that headed up advertising, branding, digital, events, metaverse, Web 3.0 and social for a variety of client accounts. Before that, I spent more than a decade as a creative lead in shopper and promotional marketing. And even before that, I spent the first part of my career developing direct response marketing campaigns across multiple mediums.This experience has given me a unique, full-spectrum perspective on the creative process and brand building. One that is founded on the principle that every touchpoint needs to work harmoniously with each other so that every brand can reach its fullest potential and truly move people — both emotionally and physically.And time and time again, I’ve been able to take what I’ve learned to open new opportunities for those I work with. From establishing the new core capabilities of brand, social and digital at TPN, to opening and staffing a new satellite office at Wunderman Team Detroit, I have shown to never back down from any challenge, no matter how daunting it may seem.But through my career, I have seen that this can’t happen in a vacuum — or alone. So, in addition to growing as a creator, I put forth every ounce of effort to being the type of creative lead, mentor and manager that facilitates this level of work by building environments that creatives and marketers can grow and excel in. I greatly value transparency, empathy, accessibility and diverse perspectives. I believe it’s not enough to bring what you know. You also have to help elevate the expertise and experiences of others to truly ensure the message — no matter its form — is being delivered authentically and with impact.Whether it's elevating the creative work and profile of my agency or firm, or building strong client relationships through strategic, next-level creative thinking, I truly love what I do. And, I love that my story is still being written.Portfolio: www.ryanjmoore.net
