President and Founder

Over the course of his 38-year marketing career which began on Madison Avenue, Bruce has become a recognized expert in building brands, generating sales, and capturing market share for virtually every kind of company, from startup to late stage, high-tech to packaged goods, for-profit to nonprofit. Bruce has directed marketing for household names like Intel and Lever Brothers, as well as mid-sized companies like Little Giant and Provo Craft.

In 2002, Bruce saw the opportunity to expand his marketing expertise to assist multiple companies simultaneously, and Sprout Marketing was born. Since then, Sprout has guided the marketing of more than 300 clients, launched over 1,000 products, and added $1 billion in incremental revenue to its portfolio companies. Sprout’s unique approach of providing part-time chief marketing officers to organizations that otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford one has become a must-have growth solution for startups, small businesses, and mid-sized companies alike.

Bruce began his career in 1985 at Ogilvy Advertising in New York City, then the third largest ad agency in the world. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Advertising from BYU.
