Mike BevilExpert Marketing ConsultantFreelance Creative Director

My name is Mike Bevil. I am a freelance marketing consultant and creative director with more than two decades of advertising and marketing under my belt.
Having founded a couple of agencies and run a couple of others, I have learned a thing or two over the years. I have served the role of Art Director, Creative Director, Account Planner, Strategic Planner, Managing Director, VP of Marketing, President/CEO and Teacher. I have been told that I have a rare balance of strong business acumen and creativity and I use those skills to solve difficult marketing problems for my clients.
Most clients come to me for help with branding, positioning and messaging strategy, but I can execute any marketing deliverable a client might need. I am available solo, but I tend to work the majority of the time with a few other freelancers that I have been working with for a very long time (www.5x5atl.com). Between us we can provide clients, agencies and interactive firms a full range of as-needed marketing services ranging from initial positioning and brand strategy through any deliverable across the spectrum of consumer touchpoints including print, broadcast, interactive, content marketing, demand generation and social media. There is no project too large as I have a large, extended team of associates that I can easily work with to get anything done.
At the end of the day, I can provide anything a quality agency can provide faster and cheaper…with a whole lot less bullshit along the way.
“Mike brought an amazing amount of creativity and energy to Logitech’s advertising strategy. He was not afraid to propose new things that would stand out in the marketplace and he worked extremely hard, around the clock, to complete the campaign on time and on budget. He is very fun to work with and the kind of person that reminds you why you love working in marketing.”
Robin Selden — Chief Marketing Officer, Netgear

There is really no job too big or too small. It doesn’t matter if it is B2B or B2C. I work both client-direct and with agencies.

Mike has worked for two companies in which I have been responsible for branding, creative and campaign execution. His work is excellent! Off the scale creative, not only eye grabbing, emotive and original but results oriented. Brilliant!

I have had the opportunity of being a client of Mike. Mike is an absolute professional. He is a unique blend of being extremely creative and a great business person. You will love working with him.

In his two tours of duty at Blue Sky, Mike really helped take us to the next level. First as co-creative director with me he helped create some of the most memorable campaigns we’ve done including his creative contributions to Moe’s Southwest Grill, the Braves and more. The second time around as managing director, Mike was committed to making us a true full-service agency, building both our interactive and media departments from the ground up. His ability to understand a marketing problem, form a strategy and carry it through to the end is about as good as it gets.
