Bryan Johnston, Storyteller, Copywriter, Idea Guy.
I imagine
I write
I generate
I've had the daily pleasure of creating something from nothing. Taking a blank sheet of paper and turning it into living, breathing content -- video, audio, animation, print -- that leaves clients, readers, and viewers saying, "More, please." I'm a Storyteller, plain and simple.
​
To my mind, creativity is about connecting dots. Dots that others don't see. Taking disparate things and tying them together in ways that spark comments like, oh, I dunno, maybe, "Huh. It never occurred to me to play the emo goth teen off of the alien reptile creature to sell cloud computing. But it works." (Okay, that's a stretch, but you get my point)
​
So, what do you get with Bryan?
Video scripts? Articles? Novels? Blogs?
Check, check, check, annnnd check.
I've developed, written, produced, or directed over 2000 videos (not a typo). I worked in affiliate network television (ABC, NBC, CBS), cranking out promotional, marketing, and advertising content at a staggering rate. I then made the switch to corporate video, creating content for enterprise corporations such as Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, and T-Mobile. I've written across multiple genres and verticals. Serious, funny, you name it.
​
I can edit. Like, video edit. Not the flashy stuff, I leave that to full-time editors, but I'm serviceable with Adobe Premiere.
​
I'm not a designer but have a pretty darn fine eye for composition if I do say so.
​
Need some sound design? I can do that and have done that, a lot over the years. Actually won an Emmy for my audio editing. (We'll get to the whole Emmy thing in a minute) Done a fair amount of work as voice and on-camera talent as well.
​
Over my career, I've received 11 Emmy awards, and a few other shiny doorstops that you probably haven't heard of, but I'm still proud as punch about them. Do people still say proud as punch? Hmmm.
​
I've written for numerous magazines and websites, and have authored several books. Even written a couple of radio dramas.
​
What all this means is that I bring a great deal of digital experience to the table. Experience that can help your business move the needle. This is what I live for.
