Meet Philip Hering, the SoCal brand strategist with a beach town vibe and a knack for adding a dash of sunshine to every project. His resume reads like a surfboard ride through the waves of success, having carved his mark with big players like HGTV and Behr Paint, he brings that laid-back yet laser-focused approach to every campaign.

Philip's marketing and advertising prowess isn't limited to brainstorming sessions and catchy slogans. He's the maestro behind digital website ad placements that make your thumb twitch toward the "click here" button, the genius who crafts brand strategies so sharp they could slice through SoCal traffic, and the wizard who turns event planning into an art form.

Based in South Orange County, Calif., Philip resides with his wife, young daughter, and their lively Springer Spaniel pup. When he's not busy shaking up the marketing world, you'll find him elbow-deep in his latest culinary experiment or teaming up with pals to support causes close to his heart, like the Cronh's & Colitis Foundation of America. With a bachelor's degree in advertising from Cal State Fullerton under his belt and a pack of beach-loving companions by his side, Philip's riding the wave of life with style and class.
