In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Gabriel Roldan, Senior Strategist, and Partner at Beyond The Agency, where he gives real-world examples of his persistence and breaks down actionable steps for you to take on his networking strategy.  He discusses how he surrounds himself with great people and uses mentors to kick start his career and develop him further.

Gabriel is an award-winning Brand Strategist and educator. Currently, he is a Sr. Strategist and partner at Beyond The Agency (BTA), a DTC & Advertising agency in Miami. At BTA, Gabriel's main job is twofold. Internally, he is helping the agency develop its strategy offerings and push creative boundaries. Externally (with clients), he is helping turn business goals and problems into actionable creative briefs. 

Before BTA, Gabriel co-led Burger King US and Burger King UK at Creative AOR, DAVID Miami from 2017 - 2019 with 90+ TVC including the Andy Warhol Super Bowl Ad. His most memorable project was launching The Impossible Whopper. The launch led to Burger King's best-selling product launch of the last 10 years and in two weeks gained $140+ million in earned media. Beyond work, Gabriel is passionate about speaking to those interested in Advertising and young Strategists entering the field. 

He has been an Assistant Teacher at Miami Ad School's HQ for their Strategy Bootcamp and a guest lecturer at the University of North Carolina, the University of Miami, Rochester Institute of Technology, and Florida International University. Most recently,  he launched Miami Ad School's first program dedicated to mid-level Strategists. It proved to fill a significant need in the development world, so the school has decided to make it a core program.
