We believe in bringing out the best in people, which is pretty easy to do when you’ve already got the best people.

Investing time and resources into the professional growth of each team member is a major part of our model. We empower, nurture, and challenge our team, and the results speak for themselves. We’re a close-knit, bad ass, fun, and diligent group with an affinity for Beer:30’s (perhaps you know them better as happy hours), and conga lines. You’ll love working with us, because we love working with each other.

Chad Bauer

President

We haven’t officially received confirmation from scientists, but we’ve got a theory that Chad is proof the advertising gene exists. After earning his B.B.A. in Marketing, Law, & Social Responsibility from Loyola University Maryland; Chad spent the early part of his career working for Hearst Television’s Baltimore flagship station, WBAL-TV 11. After years of being in the corporate world, his entrepreneur mindset drove him to SR&B where he now leads as Managing Director; with plans of growth and expansion for our firm. Chad’s passion for his work is rivaled only by his love for his wife, two sons, family and friends.

Chad has executed over $350 Million in Media Spend over the past 20 years across traditional, experiential, and digital media… and has the network to prove it.

Dan Poole

Creative Director

Dan Poole was put on this earth to entertain and tell stories. Born with a seemingly endless energy supply, his passion for writing forces him to remain seated for several minutes at a time. During a lifetime of video production he has amassed a wide breadth of filmmaking tools, capable of doing just about anything on a movie set (but don’t count on him for hair or make up). At SR&B, we have weaponized his professional assets and aimed them at client’s creative needs. Dan’s natural ability to create a good story and tell it well resonates with every brand we serve. He holds a black belt in the art of sarcasm and if you want to see his serious side, you’d have to catch him making a vanilla latté at his home barista station.

Dan’s consistently dynamic work was directly responsible for an annual 9,000% increase in social media followers for one client.
