An acquired taste everyone should acquire. (About)

[Word overwhelm? Just watch the video.]

I’m an award-winning writing leader and copywriter with 17 years of writing experience, and I love to tell stories in compelling ways that prompt people to act. I have a history of successfully crafting messaging strategies and leading creative execution, and my experience building and leading teams, collaborating with peers, and working with stakeholders has shown me that the best results are always built on a foundation of empathy, teamwork, and trust.

I’m also a humorist, creative writer, and award-winning podcaster. My humor pieces have graced the websites of McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Points in Case, Splitsider, and Vulture. My short fiction, industry articles, and essays appear in places too numerous to list. I co-founded Spillers, Phoenix's first short fiction storytelling event, in August 2015 and created, hosted, and produced the spin-off podcast Spillers After Show, Phoenix New Times’ Best Podcast of 2016. I live in sunny Phoenix, Arizona, with a wife, a daughter, and dogs.

I'm looking for a Senior Copywriting or Associate Creative Director role in a lively/fun/quasi-reckless agency environment where storytelling is paramount and brands come alive. If you're looking for someone who loves the stratgegy as much as the story, reach out to me at briandunnwrites@gmail.com.
