Hello.

I'm Ryan Taylor, Group Creative Director.

These pages are always hard. I almost wrote a witty narrative of all the things I like that make me quirky and unique but there are enough of those already.

I work at BCG BrightHouse, a creative consultancy that's been helping organizations articulate and activate their timeless purpose long before it was on magazine covers and in everyone's LinkedIn bio.

Here's a picture of me. My long hair is my midlife criss. It's cheaper and safer than a motorcycle.

MY OFFICIAL COMPANY BIO

For PowerPoint decks and other sexy places.

After 15 years in ad agencies creating campaigns for toilet paper, tourism, doughnuts, and more, Ryan joined BCG BrightHouse in 2016. Since then, he has used his creativity to lead planning workshops for the world’s largest public park, craft initiatives for automakers to combat climate change, and push banks to commit to unprecedented sustainable finance goals.
 
He has always disliked cold weather, so he moved to Dubai in 2022 to open our Middle East office, bringing the creative magic of BrightHouse to some of the most ambitious projects on Earth. 
 
Ryan cried on the first day of kindergarten and hated every day of school until graduation. Miraculously, he holds a BFA from Columbus State University. Outside of work, Ryan is always with his favorite people in the world — his wife and two children. And he’s very thankful for his mother, who always kept him stocked with art supplies as a child — but still doesn’t understand what he does for a living.

MY FAVORITE FORM OF COMMUNICATION

GIFs are the best expression of emotion. I've made a few of my amazing coworkers (click each to meet them). Feel free to use these.

MY BELIEFS

Good ideas should make life better.

If you can’t explain an idea simply, you don’t have a good one.

Sketch pads are more creative than computers.

True leaders get dirty with their team.

Ping-pong is the greatest game on Earth. 

MY FAVORITE SONGS

A friend once asked me for my five favorite songs of all time. The first five songs in this playlist were my official answer. The other 27 songs were close seconds. If I did it again today, I bet it'd be completely different. 

I'm sorry this page isn't better.
