Discover Top Freelancers in Columbia, Missouri, USA

Hello my name is Brian, and I am a video and marketing professional. While honing and fostering my video productions skills, I also earned a BSBA in Marketing from Xavier University. I love incorporating the ideas and insights I gain from my marketing and psychology background into my video work, and I love to examine the motivations behind the feelings that stories give us. I am a strong leader with experience leading groups, clubs, and I am an Eagle Scout. I am young in experience, but I can guarantee you I have the talent to make any project come to life. I pride myself in knowing that others admire my attention to detail in my shooting and editing, and I know that it is only a matter of time before my video resume will be extensive. Before becoming a freelancer I have worked in corporate video as an internal video production manager. Along with working with video companies and other videographers, I have also taken on solo projects with brands and businesses. With these projects I help businesses hone their marketing strategy first and then handle all aspects of production, while maintaining that strategy throughout. Some of my freelancing gigs have taken me around the country to places like San Diego and Las Vegas to shoot recap videos for Tony Robbins events. These experiences include fast-paced shooting and editing, bringing together a recap video that plays at the end of the 4-day-long event. I would love to show you what I can offer to your project, and I look forward to working with you soon!
