Much to the chagrin of his parents, Brian Eden is not a dentist. Instead, he works in advertising as an Executive Creative Director/Writer who eats sugary foods and occasionally forgets to floss. But his clients are glad he's not a dentist. (Because dentists make lousy ads.) Brian, on the other hand, does work that has been recognized at Cannes (including a Titanium Lion), the D&AD Impact Awards, Regular D&AD, the Effie Awards, the Webby Awards, The AICP Awards (including Best in Show) the One Show, the Andy Awards, the London Internationals, the New York Festivals, the Radio Mercury Awards, the Art Directors Club, the Clios, Freakonomics Radio, the Guinness Book of World Records and AdAge, where he was named one of the industry’s “Roaring 20’s.”
Brian has done work for Prudential, Zillow, Hennessy, Blue Apron, Ancestry, The New York Times, American Express Travel, belVita, Diet Coke, US Airways, Hyundai, TD Ameritrade, Toyota, JP Morgan Chase, The Maryland Lottery, Children’s Hospital Colorado and Johns Hopkins Medicine, which is as close to being a doctor as Brian is going to get.
In 2006, Brian realized his lifelong goal of becoming the #1 ranked Brian Eden on Google, narrowly edging out Brian Eden, Chairman of the Hillview Road Landfill Citizens Advisory Committee, Brian Eden, director of the Sioux Falls Trucking Association, and Brian Eden, prison inmate convicted of two counts of mail fraud and money laundering in Ohio.
Brian has 672 Instagram followers and a spotless ebay seller rating.
When Brian is not writing ads, he is a self-taught photographer. Which is a polite way of saying that he doesn’t really know what he’s doing. But in the grand scheme of things, that’s much better for the world than if he were a self-taught neurosurgeon. He is a contributor to Getty Images, and his travel photography has been published in Travel + Leisure, Lonely Planet, Vox, Bloomberg Media, Time, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Martha Stewart, Musee, Better Homes and Gardens, Town and Country, and Thrillist to name a few. His book, 1000 Days in New York was published in 2015.
Brian is also an accomplished humor essayist. His writing has been politely rejected for publication by The New Yorker, This American Life, The New York Times, McSweeney’s and more. His essays have been used to corrupt the minds of America’s youth in High School and University curriculums across the country.
Brian graduated from Syracuse University, where he studied Advertising, Psychology and Heavy Jackets.
He lives in Rye, New York with his wife, kids, dog, and espresso machine.
