Bio
Edit

Gary J. Nix is a brand strategy executive who earned his stripes as a disruptor, innovator, and predictor in the entertainment, fashion, magazine publishing, sports, and marketing industries. He was first known for merging traditional marketing principles with modern marketing techniques during his in-house and agency days at places such as R/GA, MasterCard, and Nike. From there, he evolved a platform based on viewing the term brand only as a verb. As such, he started the brandarchist: strategy as a service. He recently pivoted into an advisory and educational position: one, as an adjunct professor at New York City College of Technology; and two, through an evolution of his business know known as Brandarchy Reimagined.

Lastly, I do request that if you do use my quote, please list me with my middle initial, as Gary J. Nix. It is a method I use to relieve potential confusion with another marketer with my name and a country music band. Thank you.

  • Ethical Advertising: Standing Firm Amid Political Polarization
    Gary emphasizes that ethical advertising requires brands to support vulnerable communities through actions, not just words. He argues, "standing up for those who need it most is actually a level of responsibility." Brands must stand firm in their values, even if it appears polarizing, to truly serve the communities they claim to support.
