Hi there, I’m Aaron Gilstrap. I'm a seasoned Senior Account Director & Video Content Director with over 12+ years of experience in the Advertising and Entertainment industry. I specialize in delivering enhanced customer experiences and journeys through brand participation & interaction backed by data, audience segmentation & rigorous strategy. My expertise spans across many verticals and deliverables of media planning and buying, brand positioning & strategy, social strategy, influencer marketing, video production, creative content, experiential and multicultural marketing. I excel in fostering positive client relationships, cross-functional communication, complex problem solving, team management and development, mentorship, business & account growth and ensuring on-time project execution that meets the clients overall goals, leading campaigns from inception to final asset delivery and bringing their vision to life. 

I've worked at award-winning cultural agencies, traditional agencies and creative studios winning multiple awards on several campaigns where the focused was on authentically connecting brands with multicultural audiences through experiential campaigns and video content. During that time, I collaborated with brands like Warner Bros, Pfizer, NIH, Amazon Healthcare, AT&T, BMW, Martha Stewart, Kraft, FX, Disney, EA, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Music, MAX, AWS, Prime Studios, NFL, NBA, Taco Bell, Puma, PGA Tour, Twitch, Trolli, Heineken, Mitsubishi and more.

Personally, I love being apart of the creative process. I love seeing how a creative idea & thought comes to life and tells an engaging story that connects to people in general through integrated marketing, multi-sensory campaigns, and video & digital content.
