Creative Strategist, Award-Winning Speaker & Author, Brand Igniter

A new website. A new look. The same Reid Holmes. I’m working behind the scenes to build a space that truly reflects my passion for helping brands stand out—and stay appreciated.

Stay tuned for my brand-new website, launching soon. Until then, here’s a little about me:

Meet Reid

I’ve spent over 30 years helping brands like Coca-Cola, H&R Block, and Mayo Clinic earn genuine appreciation from their audiences.

My philosophy, Appreciated Branding, flips the old interruption model on its head, helping brands connect, resonate, and create real impact.

Whether I’m leading creative teams, delivering keynotes, or helping brands find their Unique Emotional Solution, my mission is simple: make marketing better—for businesses and the people they serve.

Un-Boring Talks for
Un-Ignorable Brands

Your audience deserves more than just another marketing talk. My humor, insights, and no-fluff advice turn stale strategies into unforgettable and immediately implementable brand lessons.

After 30+ years with top brands like Coca-Cola and H&R Block, I’m here to challenge, entertain, and inspire.
