Brian Catlett
Brian Catlett is a Senior Business Development & Marketing Manager who works out of our firm’s Las Vegas office. An accomplished marketing professional with a dynamic twenty-year career leading successful and highly-scrutinized programs and strategies, Brian has a proven track record for implementing innovative ideas that move the firm forward and create efficiencies. Diligent, meticulous, and consistently able to find the right opportunities to advance and promote team members, our attorneys, and practice groups, he’s the marketing strategist who creates value through targeted and personalized initiatives – because successful attorneys ensure a successful firm.
Brian’s myriad activities include targeting clients in consultation with attorneys and practice groups, developing background information and pitch/RFP strategies, meeting prep, and creating pitch materials. He also plans and facilitates client development activities, including new business pitches, strategic sponsorships, cross-selling programs, and client relations activities. In addition to developing marketing and business plans for the firm, offices, practice groups, and attorneys, he also assists Public Relations (PR) efforts.
Brian started his career in public affairs, where he was involved in political campaigns, advertising, and business development. He ran his first political campaign in 1999. The campaign’s success led Brian to a job in Governor Kenny C. Guinn’s administration as the Director of Constituent Services. His achievements in that position led the administration to expand his role to advocate the Governor’s position with legislators and to work in the press secretary’s office. When the office created the Millennium Scholarship program, Brian was appointed to the steering committee to ensure that the program was successful.
Away from the office, Brian and his wife spend most of their weekends supporting their two girls’ activities, including Lacrosse and dance competitions. An avid cyclist and sports fanatic, Brian likes to indulge in all that Las Vegas has to offer, such as world-class concerts, sporting events, and fine foods.
