(He/Him/His)

As a Co-Founder of Do the WeRQ, Graham helps tell the platform's story and connect the movement to partners who embrace the value of queer creativity. The mission of Do the WeRQ is simple: increase queer creativity, representation and share of voice in the advertising industry. The organization brings people across the industry together to foster connections, share experiences and collaborate on cultural transformations that support the LGBTQ+ community both in front of, and behind the scenes, 365 days a year. Because only when queer marketing talent is inspired, mobilized and celebrated – by brands and marketing leaders – will queer cultural creativity translate into meaningful business solutions.

He is also an Austin-based reputation management, public relations and communications consultant — empowered by nearly 20 years of experience advancing meaningful brand conversations. His roles have included inventive brand manager, lead strategist, creative thought leader, supportive mentor, fighter for diversity and disruptor who’s willing to address what’s not working, so we can get to building what will work, now.

Graham previously joined world famous advertising agency Grey in 2017, supporting the Famously Effective agency in its efforts to make its own company, well… famously effective. Prior, he performed a similar role at brand experience agency Momentum Worldwide, where he worked for five years; before all that he spent over a decade in corporate communications with Starcom MediaVest Group.

Graham also has experience as a stand-up comedian, writer and storyteller who has performed at Second City's Skybox Theater, Gotham Comedy Club, UCBeast, and beyond. Graham has spoken on LGBTQIA+ culture and media behaviors at both SXSW and New York Comic Con.
