Brian Sykes's Linkedin Analytics

Seasoned strategist in Branding and Marketing with almost 3 decades of experience, amplified by Generative AI. Leveraging my depth of knowledge, I guide Creative Pros to transform and innovate by harnessing the power of AI. As the founder of AdJourney (1999-2022), I provided bespoke Branding and Marketing solutions for SMBs in various fields, driving growth and raising brand awareness. My commitment to education in AI extends to my role as a Teacher & Consultant for the US Small Business Administration, NC-District. Here, I develop and deliver custom Business Classes and provide one-on-one consultation around Branding, Marketing, Advertising, and AI. As an author and educator in Generative AI, I've produced multiple books and extensive resources, including 'A.I. Explore: Prompt Fundamentals,' a comprehensive guide to AI art generation that sold over 1000 copies. My work in this domain is also evident in my YouTube channel and podcast, where I share insights on AI and its potential applications in the business world. Notable career highlights include the growth and marketing of brands such as Sandhills Pediatrics, Tex Racing, and Longworth Industries - XGO, among others. These experiences have equipped me to deliver high-value strategies that result in tangible business outcomes. Now, I am focusing on a new venture as an AI Business Strategist. I provide tailored AI integration solutions for Creative Pros ready to embrace the future. I'm excited to work with forward-thinking companies and help them unlock the transformative power of AI in their operations.
