About Bruce

I am owner, president, and creative director at my own communications consultancy. I am the creative force behind a team of visual, copy and marketing creatives gathered through a career in solving client marketing and communication challenges. The team is connected virtually and I often say my office is in my backpack. I was one of the five original founding partners and EVP - Chief Creative Officer of BEN Marketing Group where I built and led a creative team that consistently designed and produced award-winning marketing solutions for some of the best-known and most interesting clients in the world, Coca-Cola, Holiday Inn, IBM, DuPont, Sara Lee, HBO, and many others. I am a graduate of Pratt Institute and began my design career with Creative Playthings, designing and creating toys and toy packaging. I was a Senior Art Director with Pepsi for 11 years, creating all manner of corporate graphics, packaging, exhibits, POP, and consumer promotions before helping to create BEN. I would claim that I had more to do with the Pepsi Challenge and the Michael Jackson campaign than I actually substantially did but I was already beaten to that by many people who had nothing to do with either. I am a full Professor Emeritus at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York in the Communications Design Department and have taught Package Design, Advertising Design, Graphic Design, and the Business Side of Advertising, for years, nurturing and mentoring young creative talent. I am currently an Adjunct Professor at a University in Chicago.

About the lesson

I'm an adjunct professor in Communications at a major Chicago University. My philosophy is "If it isn't fun, nobody learns." Stress-free learning from basic to advanced skills. Online or in person. I've been a professional advertising guy and a teacher for a long time. I know what I'm doing. You will too.

Q

Quentin

I met Bruce back at Pratt around 2005, when I landed in his class on branding and packaging. What stuck wasn’t the syllabus—it was how he got a room full of sleep-deprived design kids to feel something.

Bruce doesn’t just assign projects. He sets off creative chain reactions. Nostalgia, memory, meaning—he’d pull it all into the mix. Suddenly a product wasn’t just a thing, it was a story. A moment. A truth.

Fast, insightful, and sharp as a tack—he teaches the craft and the why behind it. Students don’t just learn advertising & design under Bruce. They learn how to make ideas stick.

Pro tip: bring in a couple boxes of Mallomars and a large hot coffee, and you just might unlock some of Bruce’s greatest stories and sharpest insights. Worth every crumb.
