W. Blake Wassenaar
There’s a perpetual moment, when we begin searching for ourselves in the world. We look for signals that tell us who we are, or who we might become. And in that search, what we’re really chasing is belonging. A way of thinking, believing or existing.
My work sits at the intersection of psychology, culture, and creative systems. Where connection, identity, curiosity, and aspiration move not as strategy notes, but as human truths. Over the course of hundreds of campaigns, I’ve shaped brand narratives into experiences that resonate, ideas that connect. Work that feels authentic because its rooted in real ways people actually live, actively think, and choose, and breathe, and dream.
With a background in strategy, creative direction, and production leadership, I weave narrative and execution together, aligning stories, channels, and audiences across everything from global automotive campaigns to entertainment partnerships and emerging tech.
The best ideas don’t demand attention - they reflect something deep seeded. They allow personal human truth to blossom.
