Brian Thompson
Founder & Director - Drop D Design
Brian Thompson, Founder & Director of Drop D Design and Managing Partner for Thorny Bleeder Records, is a Vancouver based music industry entrepreneur, artist manager, consultant, blogger, and web designer. Formerly the corporate head of music buying and advertising for a large national music retail chain, Brian has since moved on to become a well respected voice on the convergence of artist development, music marketing, social media, and technology.
Brian got his start in design while working hands-on with the graphic department of his former employer where he oversaw and put together the daily print advertising campaigns. He started designing websites first and foremost for his own business, but shortly thereafter he started doing sites for friends and for bands who just needed a helping hand. One thing led to another, more work started to roll in, and the word spread that Brian was a go-to resource for websites, with a sharp focus and understanding of the artist community.
And so Drop D Design was born, intersecting the needs of an artist and small businesses with the passion, desire, and understanding of today's social media and online-driven world.
