contrabrand / the Works, life, and gospel of Brandon Todd Wilson

From racking up my folks’ long distance bills trying to get stickers from my favorite companies, to filling notebooks cover-to-cover with their logos, I've been fascinated with brands. As an Interactive Art Director for Bernstein-Rein in Kansas City, I spend my days dreaming, designing and building brand experiences—some of the folks I’ve been blessed to work with are Dell, Boulevard Beer, Mcdonald’s, Cook’s Ham, Bed Head, Burton Snowboards and Red Bull.

Any time beyond that is divided between my wonderful family, my students and projects that Intrigue me. Our reality is all that we have, so surrounding ourselves with realities we enjoy is essential for our survival.

In the last few years my work has been recognized by organizations such as Graphis, Rockport Publishers, Index Book, AIGA, the ADDYs and showcased in numerous industry blogs. In addition, my work was awarded the Yahoo! Big Idea Chair, received Best of Show Interactive at the 2005 National ADDYs and was featured in the Red Bull Art of Can exhibition.
