Bryan Knox

 

 
 


Sometime around August of 1964 Bryan Knox was conceived. Born May 6, 1965 the second son of Linda Knox, now Linda Jackson, another story for another time. Bryan grew up, went to Preschool, Elementary School, High School and College. Many fun times were had.

1986
Graduated from Central Academy of Commercial art (a private commercial art and advertising School) in Cincinnati, Ohio. With a degree in advertising and commercial art. I moved to Chicago to work with Wasselle Graphics as a graphic artist creating key-line, mechanicals and artwork for ads and comps.

1990
Accepted a position with Leo Burnett, Chicago. Working on accounts as a graphic production artist for clients such as Phillip Morris, Keebler and Dewars. I was able to flex the design muscle with some of the best layout artist in the market.

1992
The best thing to ever come into Bryan's life was delivered on the morning of March 23rd, Sarah Nicole Knox. The following year I moved the family to Central Kentucky to raise my daughter around family. Took a position as Sr. Director of Production and New Media at Cornett Advertising, an influential Advertising agency in Lexington, Ky.

I worked directly with clients to develop and produce logos, web sites ad advertising materials for the growing client base of the agency. Interjecting design ideas into an infant internet market and progressively building a strong skill set. The Internet was slowly beginning to gain popularity as a marketing tool the web development industry began to shift to the ad agencies. This was a great opportunity to gain client interest by learning web development and marketing. My main interest was information architecture and search engine optimization. Something that was not often done in the early years of the web. Although the rules have changed over the years it is still a viable part of web development. Bringing the Internet to clients as a marketing tool instead of another brochure, created clients who understood return on investment. Teaching them the power of using the Internet as the tool it was designed to be.

1998
Moved back to Chicago to take a position with Kaleidoscope Imaging to start a web development department to facilitate clients needs for web design/marketing and development. Now with guns loaded, I offer the ability to design, develop, optimize and submit to search engines effectively along with the web marketing experience to back it up.

2003
I decided to work for myself and on my own terms, acting as representative, consultant, and designe. My one on one approach works well and is cost effective for my clients. I do not worry about account executives diluting the clients needs.
