Brainstorm Media Hires New GM/VP

We are proud to announce today that Bret Icenhower has joined Brainstorm Media in the newly created role of vice president and general manager!

Icenhower brings more than 20 years of creative media marketing experience in the Columbus market. He will oversee the day-to-day operations of Brainstorm Media’s new 15,000-square-foot studios that will open soon in Grandview Heights.

“Bret’s leadership skills and innovative ideas will be invaluable as our operations expand,” said Ron Thielman, Brainstorm Media president. “I’ve known him for years and have seen first-hand, his ability to generate creative, award winning media solutions.”

Icenhower is a resident of Worthington and a 1986 graduate of The Ohio State University. During the past two decades, he has received Emmy Awards and Addy Awards at both the local and district levels. In 2002, he was recognized with the Kress Award, named after the first President of the Advertising Federation of Columbus. He has held numerous positions on the Ad Fed Board and served as president of the organization from 2002-2004.

Icenhower’s previous work experience includes WOSU, WCMH, WTVN, WSYX, The Media Group and most recently, Lyon Video.

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with many of the Brainstorm Media staff in the past. I know Ron is building an “All-Star” team to go with the brand new, state-of the-art, facility. I’m excited and honored to be a part of Brainstorm’s future,” said Icenhower.
