Two core strategies in our business model

include scalability and specialization. As a result our team is composed of copywriters, photographers, graphic designers, project managers etc. Each of our team members has a unique background and experience within certain business contexts and vertical markets. Once we fully understand our clients, we assemble the right team for their unique business objectives. Here are a few members of our core team. 

 

Brian Giboney  |  Chief Strategy Officer

Brian brings over a decade of graphic design and marketing experience to the company, both agency and client side. He guides the vision and strategic direction of the company and is actively involved with all marketing and design projects. He is also involved in research , vendor selection and strategic partner development ensuring BDG Communications stays ahead of the curve on new trends, talent and technologies. An entrepreneur at heart, Brian has branded over a dozen companies through the years. In 2006 he co-created Aromatherapy Interventions, a luxury candle line now retailing 29 products in 480 stores worldwide. In 2011 he launched OpenBook, an online learning platform currently used at CSU Fullerton and USC.
 

Thomas Kirven  |  Chief Business Development Officer

BDG first connected with Thomas while he was working in-house for one of our healthcare clients. At the time he was tasked with managing a nationwide pilot program for a leading health plan provider. It's not every day you come across a skilled project manager with a solid marketing background and killer business process enhancement skills. Long story short? Our experience working with Thomas was so exceptional we had to steal him. When he's not exploring new client and vertical prospects or enhancing the business processes of multi-million dollar companies, in his spare time somehow manages to ride his bike hundreds of miles. Yes, literally. If you have the pleasure of working with our CBDO you'll have to keep up!
 

David Dear  |  Chief Technology Officer

When California State University Fullerton came to BDG asking for a custom built online learning platform it was a tall order. They wanted the works, they wanted if fast and David delivered. His insights into user experience, online processes and available technologies proved invaluable in building a highly effective solution. David brings a wealth of experience to the company. Before joining the BDG team David offered development services to brands like Quiksilver, Nike and the OC Register. He has also served as a web application developer at Intel. He programs in more languages than we can keep track of and is adept at data integration with more sites than we can count. In his spare time David lectures at Cal Poly Pomona and enjoys Sailing.
