Brian is an expert at crafting a communications strategy from the idea stage through implementation, incorporating marketing, advertising, media relations and public affairs outreach. He partners with some of Ceisler’s key clients to find creative ways to generate positive media attention.

He works across several Mid-Atlantic states supporting clients’ communications needs, including managing crisis communications, navigating local zoning matters and providing public relations and public affairs initiatives involving local, state and federal matters. With vast knowledge working with varying government and political dynamics, he applies his experience to support clients across many industries such as healthcare, housing, higher education, manufacturing, municipal services, and real estate. He specializes in land development matters involving residential and commercial use, working alongside project teams to provide communications support from the initial plan submission to getting shovels in the ground.

Prior to joining Ceisler’s Philadelphia office in 2017, Brian was the director of communications for the Philadelphia city controller. There, he led a collaborative effort to create the award-winning “Philly WatchDog” mobile application, the nation’s first app allowing citizens to report fraud and waste directly to a government agency.

Before joining the controller’s office, Brian was a regional media relations coordinator for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and worked for a Pennsylvania-based public relations firm.

He graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
