Raymond Alexander Nadeau is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning, cross-platform creative director, copywriter, content creator, marketing executive, strategic licensing expert, best-selling author, branding advocate, experiential marketing advocate and, fashion, beauty and entertainment authority. He is culturally driven and digitally inclined. Most of all, he believes that brands belong to consumers, not the other way around. He believes in satisfying versus creating need. In fact, he predicts that in the future, as the curation of best and class product value becomes fully transparent, that he and those like him will become obsolete. Until then he and his colleagues remain best in class relative to what they do now and what they can do for you. And, if you want to focus on new product development and innovation Nadeau does that too. Regardless of related disciplines, including his work as a futurist for companies like Diageo and LVMH, Nadeau holds firm to his philosophy that its about being best, not about claiming to be better.

Nadeau works both independently and as the Founder and Creative Director of Living Brands Living Media LLC.
