Kevin Friedman, President I Creative Director

Kevin Friedman started his career at MGM Studios in 1997, where he primarily dealt in all the best vices a college graduate had: cigarettes, alcohol, moneyless, fizzy drinks, freedom and trade journalism. Moving from boutique creative agency to viral marketing agency he was given the opportunity by a client to venture into the world of business on his own. Thus we have Maize Marketing.

He has had the privilege for the past six years of being involved with some very impact-full campaigns from some very distinguishable brands since the inception of Maize Marketing, (Disney, Quiksilver, Fox Sports, FSN West/ FSN Prime Ticket, Carl's Jr., Paramount Pictures, Dairy Queen, Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, NASCAR to name a few)

Creating new and existing brands by using traditional and new media approaches is what keeps Kevin on his feet. He enjoys the southern California lifestyle and the loveliness of his North Carolina wife along with his (and her) dog Kaya.
