I lead and execute marketing campaigns across destination, nonprofit, and experience-driven organizations, connecting strategy, storytelling, and performance to drive real-world results.
I also create place-based projects and experiences that connect people to destinations, communities, and stories, including This Book Travels, a shared journal that moves through the world collecting stories.
I work with organizations across tourism, nonprofit, and experience-driven sectors to plan and execute marketing campaigns that are clear, coordinated, and effective.
My work spans strategy, content, digital campaigns, and performance tracking, with a focus on aligning teams, partners, and channels to deliver measurable results.
Whether supporting a destination, growing a nonprofit, or launching an experience, I focus on connecting ideas to execution.
TrustMy goal is to build trust-based, long-term relationships with my clients and partners.
Growth Expertise Capability ExperienceTrusted by over 327 clients from 14 countries, I’ve been working in digital marketing and advertising for over 20 years.
FunI like to get things done, to do them well, and to have a great time along the way.
I’ve developed and led projects that connect people to places through real-world experiences.
Through the Explorer Series, I created self-guided outdoor experiences that engaged over 20,000 participants and led to more than 10,000 completed trail experiences across the Fraser Valley. These initiatives encouraged people to explore local trails, businesses, and communities, often in collaboration with local partners.
This work continues to shape how I approach destination and experience-based marketing.
I believe that thinking differently, working with the most talented people around, and pursuing greatness with like-minded companies creates great results. Want to join me?

“Stir Marketing took us by the hand and walked us through an area of business that was somewhat foreign to us. Brent helped us implement digital marking strategies, communications, and visual media that were in tune with the clients we sought to attract and the culture we wished to create. Would highly recommend their services.”
– Tamiko C., Owner, World Gym Athletics
