Brian Lynn
@brianlynn
Global creative leader and brand storyteller scaling AI-augmented, performance-driven narratives for enterprise brands.
What I'm looking for
I’m a global creative leader with 20+ years building in-house creative capabilities, brand narratives, and high-impact storytelling programs across enterprise technology, regulated industries, and consumer brands.
I turn complex product and organizational value into content that’s legible, credible, and emotionally resonant—directing cross-disciplinary teams and managing agencies and global production partners to make great work scale.
As a Global Brand Director & Creative Lead (Fractional), I’ve led investor communications and brand repositioning that supported a $100M funding milestone for Infleqtion (with coverage in Barron’s and INC. Magazine), and I’ve driven measurable growth through culture-first internal storytelling (26% employee engagement at Capital One) and performance GTM creative (3x webinar attendance and 25% month-over-month enterprise lead growth at Fortinet).
I also bring deep performance and systems thinking from my earlier work as Creative Post-Producer & Brand Performance Lead at Gaia.com, where I helped drive 43% subscription growth and 300% membership expansion, built scalable workflows for 10,000+ titles, and aligned creative execution with retention and conversion metrics. Today, I’m increasingly leveraging AI tools to accelerate production and build modular, automated content systems—while maintaining strong brand governance, quality, and governance rigor.
