The Brandcenter is excited to welcome two new team members this fall: Alyson Gaiser joins as Visiting Professor of Practice in Strategy, and Micah Berry joins as Associate Director of Technical Training. Both bring a mix of deep industry experience and a shared commitment to helping students become the creative leaders of tomorrow.
These newly created roles are part of the Brandcenter’s continued effort to evolve with the industry, giving students direct access to top talent and hands-on experience with emerging tools, technologies, and ways of working.
Alyson Gaiser is currently Senior Strategy Director at AKQA. Throughout her career, she has built brands from the ground up, led large-scale repositioning efforts, created Super Bowl spots, and developed fully integrated campaigns for clients across sectors including gaming, automotive, luxury, tech, and CPG. At the Brandcenter, she’ll lead courses in brand and campaign strategy and mentor students in developing bold, strategic thinking.
Micah comes to the Brandcenter with over 20 years’ experience in production and creative technology. Most recently Director of Technology at Arts & Letters Creative Co., he has helped build scalable systems for clients like Google, ESPN, and Amazon. In his new role, he’ll help integrate emerging tech into the curriculum and lead the Brandcenter’s production master class, giving students the tools and knowledge to experiment, adapt and lead in a fast-changing landscape.
We’re excited to welcome Alyson and Micah to the Brandcenter community and look forward to the impact they’ll have in and beyond the classroom.
