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.
