“Dan brings a creative and pragmatic perspective to solving problems that goes beyond the design of artifacts,” says Executive Creative Director John Creson. “He has a keen ability to understand a client’s business objective and then use design to effectively convey the desired perception—a characteristic that is hard to find in our industry."

After earning his BFA in graphic design from Brigham Young University in 1997, Dan started his design career at Landor Associates where he helped companies such as Albertsons, Coors, KTLA, RadioShack and SeaWorld revitalize their brands. He went on to work for other leading design agencies in San Francisco to develop award-winning annual reports, marketing materials, and websites for clients including Asia Global Crossing, Brocade, E*TRADE, National Semiconductor, Starwood Financial, Hewlett Packard, and Applied Materials. In 2002, Dan joined Gap Personal Care, and later Banana Republic Marketing where he helped develop seasonal campaigns, promotions, and marketing materials.

“I’m excited to be part of an organization whose philosophy is based on creating positive change for people, companies, and communities,” says Dan. “It’s a great opportunity to partner with the creative thinkers who want to do work that matters and to help our clients succeed.’

"We are absolutely delighted to welcome Mark to Addis Creson," says CEO Steven Addis. "Mark brings extensive client service expertise and a positive spirit that meshes with our culture."

Mark has been partnering with clients in the development of brand communications for the past 15 years. Having spent much of his time at Young & Rubicam and MarchFIRST, Mark has worked with an array of brands - from large global brands such as 7UP, Chevron, Apple, Virgin Atlantic, and Ford to non profits such as the Trust for Public Land, the Brady Center for Handgun Violence, and Arthur Ashe Youth Tennis. During these engagements Mark led the creation of work that successfully created relevant differentiation for brands, and in some cases transformed the business and culture of entire companies.

"What matters most to me is that I feel I'm doing work that matters," notes Galbraith. "I am thrilled with the opportunity to work with the caliber of creative thinkers here at Addis Creson. For the past 15 years, I've been fortunate to partner with an array of talented clients and co-workers. Addis Creson is a special opportunity for me as it enables me to employ my personal passions and my valued professional experiences. I'm looking forward to helping our firm collectively realize our ambitious promise for creating positive change for our colleagues, our clients, and our greater community."

A Bay Area native and graduate of UC Berkeley, Mark likes to spend his time away from the office doing just about anything outside with his wife and two young daughters.
