Brent Gazzaniga - Creative Director

Brent's career spans over three decades and to date, three continents. Primarily a copywriter Brent has held senior creative positions in many of the world's leading advertising agencies.

During this time he has acquired an interesting insight into how people tick and what it is that motivates them to buy.  Interestingly he discovered early on that only a few basic communication principals apply no matter what product or brand is being presented. Whilst many copywriters focus on the product and therefore the presentation of its primary attributes Brent prefers to direct more attention towards the prospective purchaser, their needs, their desires and above all their lifestyle demands.

Consequently over the years he has developed an intriguing method for mind mapping the target audience and applying this information directly to the production of sound marketing solutions that will convey your message in the most appropriate style and manner. Importantly, the information of this kind provides all custodians of your brand with the how, the when, and the where that marketing message can be most effectively delivered.

The results for Satori have proven time and again that the extra effort Brent spends researching the audience before applying any product attributes to the mix can in fact identify the most appropriate strategies for the campaign.

Brent's unique approach to coming up with appropriate creative solutions may be the difference you have been looking for in an advertising agency. The best way to discover this is to let him loose on your products and your prospective customers.

Satori will be happy to introduce you to Brent when we meet - but please, be prepared to reveal a little more about yourselves than usual, it's just his way of getting to know you better before he tackles your business.
