Hi there, I’m Aaron Gilstrap. I'm a seasoned Senior Account Director, Brand Marketing Director & 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. 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.
