Brian M Logan

Management.

COPYWRITING | SCRIPT WRITING | CONTENT CREATION

Brian is a Marketing Grad, an AWARD and Masterclass Copywriting Grad and a professional screenwriter and novelist repped out of Hollywood by William Morris Endeavor (one of the world’s ‘Big 3’ agencies) and managed by Circle of Confusion (who manage the directors of the Matrix among others).

Brian’s screenplay, ‘The Nihilist, the Bag & the Rock’n Roll Launderette’ was a finalist (Top 10 out of 6,048) in the Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting in 2003. The Nicholl Fellowship is the world’s largest screenwriting contest and is run by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (the folks who give out the Oscars). Brian was the first ever finalist to come from outside of America or Canada in the 21 year history of the competition, and the Academy flew Brian to Hollywood and put him up at the Beverly Hilton hotel for a week for the presentation and award ceremony.

Brian’s book, ‘Monster Town’ was recently set-up at a major Hollywood Studio (Sony) with the producer of ‘Clash of the Titans’ and the writer / producer of ‘Dexter’ and ‘24’ attached. The book is being developed as a TV series in the vein of ‘True Blood’.

Brian recently co-developed the character of ‘Sam Small’ and wrote the script for the 30 second animation video for insurance giant AON and award winning agency, Deepend (click here to VIEW AON ANIMATION), as well as researching and creating SEO Strategy & Execution Documents for award winning agency, Bullseye-Digital.

SEO | SEM | SMO | DIGITAL PRODUCTION

Brian runs SEONorthSydney.com.au and has extensive experience getting companies on the first page of Google.

Brian has designed and project managed numerous website builds. Most notably, he produced Australia’s 1st EVER streaming film and music website, IndieFilmWeb.com, on August 14, 2000.

More recent websites Brian has designed and produced include: ppsurgery.com.au (for one of Australia’s leading plastic surgeons), ucus.com.au (for a start up car repair business – a company he got featured on Today Tonight), and collaroykitchen.com.au (for a 3 million dollar a year, mid-size kitchen company).

FILM | TV | CORPORATE VIDEOS | TVC

In his 20s Brian studied acting full time for 3 years and graduated from Australia's prestigious ACARTS (ne. CPA) college (South Australia’s version of NIDA), where he was taught by such luminaries as John Noble (‘Fringe’) and Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush.

Brian worked as a professional actor for nearly a decade, during which time he acted in 6 feature films, co-starring in 3 (opposite Ray Liotta, Julian McMahon, Kevin Dillon, Elliot Gould, Garry McDonald, Lance Henriksen, Ernie Hudson, Christopher Atkins, among others etc).

Brian also wrote, directed and produced several award winning short films, and has taught acting and television presenting professionally.

SALES | SALES MANAGEMENT | C-LEVEL NEGOTIATIONS

Brian has personally sold over $3,000,000 in sponsorship and advertising to some of the largest companies in the country (such as Apple, IBM, Sony, Microsoft, Ericsson, Dell, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, HSBC, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, Autonomy, etc, as well as to various Australian Federal and State government departments) and he has run sales teams of between 5-200 people. And – due to his innate ability to motivate others – he has been described as a ‘Change Agent’ in the workplace when running a team.

All of which means that Brian has significant C-Level negotiation and sales skills which can be utilized to land major accounts for whoever he is working for. Be it at the ‘big end of town’ (Fortune 500 companies, et al), or in the SME (20-500 employees) or SOHO spaces.

EVENTS | TRADE SHOWS | CONSUMER SHOWS

Brian is an expert with over a decade experience in the events’ field. He has project managed, produced, launched, marketed and run – from conception through to delivery - everything from 3 hall trade shows at Darling Harbour, to web-sites, Gala Dinners, conferences, congresses, consumer shows, road shows, award nights, breakfast meetings, web-site launches, film festivals and seminars.

Event highlights include: producing Digital Media World and the Effects & Animation Film Festival. Producing the official AMPTA (Australian Mobile Telecommunication Authority) Congress. Producing Australia's largest 'Broadcast' expo (Australia's answer to NAB). Producing and launching Knowledge Management Australia. Producing and launching 'The National Growth Summit'. And producing and launching the first annual Health and Productivity Management Congress (with Tony Abbott and Kate Lundy as keynote speakers). Notable firsts include, digital television being officially launched at one of Brian’s shows by the then Australian Federal Minister for Technology & the Arts, Senator Alston.
