Josh Morgerman has spent the past 20 years as a brand man—creating new brands from blank canvas, reengineering stale brands that need a lift, and activating existing brands through social media and splashy ad campaigns.

Serving as Lead Strategist and Creative Director for Symblaze—the boutique agency he cofounded in L.A. in 1999—he’s led projects for a range of clients around the world—from major media companies, telecoms, and tech startups, to professional and financial services firms, to cities, tourism bureaus, and public transit.

His secret weapon: the fast-paced, audience-centric methodology he’s developed to create brands that cut through the noise, ring true, and get results.

On a completely different note, Morgerman is a celebrated stormchaser—holding the world record for most hurricanes successfully penetrated.

In this role, Morgerman collects rare field data in dangerous situations around the world. A dynamic TV personality, social-media fixture (@iCyclone), and compelling speaker, Morgerman has starred in two TV series—including the BBC’s “Hurricane Man”—and he’s an influencer for several major brands.

He lives in a sleepy (but hurricane-prone) beach town just outside New Orleans in a special, hurricane-resistant home he designed. When not inventing brands, conjuring ad campaigns, pleasing tough clients, hunting danger in the planet’s remote corners, exciting live audiences, or emoting on TV, Morgerman likes to water his lawn and smoke his pipe on the front porch.
