Myron Nilsson is a creative leader, visual storyteller, and brand builder with more than 13 years of experience turning complex ideas into stories people remember.
He currently serves as President of AdPipe Studio, where he consults with brands like Coca-Cola, Hilton, and Inspire Brands to unlock more value from their content through smarter strategy, modular video systems, and what he calls Human-Touch AI. His work focuses on helping modern marketing teams move faster without losing what matters most: emotion, craft, and human connection.
Before AdPipe, Myron was Global Executive Creative Director at Hilton, where he built a 70+ person global creative team from the ground up, overseeing work across 26 brands tied to $8.7 billion in annual revenue. He helped shape the brand's "For the Stay" platform, including the globally recognized "It Matters Where You Stay," and his team's work earned Ad Age Social Campaign of the Year and Ad Age Best Rebrand. His leadership reinforced a belief that has guided his career: great brands are built through experiences people feel, not just messages they see.
Earlier in his career, Myron spent nearly a decade at Octagon, where he built and led the agency's social creative practice from the ground up, growing it into a $10 million-plus business across a $3 billion-plus client portfolio that included Coca-Cola, BMW, Delta Air Lines, Mastercard, PlayStation, The Home Depot, Taco Bell, UPS, and many others.
Myron's storytelling instincts started long before marketing. As a teenager, he worked as a whitewater river guide in California's Sierra Nevada, where he learned the power of a well-told story around a campfire, on a river, and in the middle of a shared adventure. That belief still anchors his work today: storytelling is not a tactic. It is one of the most powerful ways people connect, remember, and make meaning together.
He holds a master's degree in Design and Technology from Utah State University and a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Marketing from Brigham Young University Hawaii, a combination that shapes his approach to creativity, brand building, and Human-Touch AI at scale.
