Hi, I'm Rob Brooks: Male Human. I'm a passionate, design-driven Creative Director currently living in Los Angeles. My diverse background centers on integrated, hands-on creative direction, with over 13 years of agency experience. I have developed brand campaigns, stories, content, and experiences on a regional, national, and global scale. When it comes to creative development, I strive to be as well-rounded and versatile as possible. I always dig deep to set a brand's personality apart from its competitors. When I’m not busy with client work, I like to fill my time with art, design, illustration, outdoor life, photography, video, and hanging out with my beautiful wife and pig-like dogs.
