Brian Tome
Brian Tome is an author, adventurer, speaker and founding and Senior Pastor of Crossroads Church based in Cincinnati, OH. Crossroads reaches over a million people a week through weekly services and other digitial content. I have worked as the Creative Director specifically on projects that have grown Brian’s reach across the nation. Projects I have gotten to work on include launching Phantom Lake, The Aggressive Life Podcast, MAN CAMP, the launch of Brian’s latest book MOVE, live and virtual events and much more.
Project Contributions:
-
The overall brand of everything Brian does is built to reach the gritty, adventurous person in normal talk, which is true to who Brian is and who he is passionate about reaching.
-
I have helped define, refine and build out creative assets for Brian’s brand anything from email, to web, social media and print. I have played a significant part in defining how it looks, what it communicates and how it is executed.
-
As the brand has grown and we have added more content, books, events, etc. the website has gotten more dynamic and had to feature a lot in one place. I helped outline and bring clarity to how Brian’s website could be organized and clear. The goal was to make the user experience easy to navigate while maintaining a clean and adventurous aesthetic.
-
I have taken Brian’s email list from a basic email and evolved it. We’ve landed with a fresh new look that is congruent with the rest of Brian’s brand. “The Field Guide” which is Brian’s bi-monthly subscribe email features an on brand heading, the classic black and electric orange colors throughout, with a teaching or thought from Brian and ad space in the bottom to push followers to action on Brian’s latest or something that will get the consumer to a new place spiritually.
-
I have travelled with Brian and shot photos at in-room events, outdoor events and video shoots in places like Moab, the Mojave, Idaho, etc.
-
I have helped build and direct experiences for in-person events. These events have been mainly mini pop-up men’s events (50-400 attendees) and worked on MAN CAMP (1,500+ attendees). My role at these events has varied. Some times that is on the producing side (finding locations, thinking through experience set up and lay of land) or on the creative directing side (how can we make this experience meaningful, impactful and how can we capture it to tell a story to reach more people through strategic marketing.)
