After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, Bruce “cut his teeth” by
working a six month, non-paid internship at a small, three-person
production company. For the next seven and a half years, he played a key
role in growing the company to a full-service facility that served over 100
clients through a staff of eight employees. At the end of his eight years,
Bruce had written, directed and/or produced approximately 80 long-form
videos and more than 100 TV commercials.
Bruce spent the next six years as a Production Manager at CUNA Mutual
Group. In that position, he gained extensive marketing experience in brand
strategy and channel integration – creating video, interactive, Web-delivery
and print projects, in addition to producing and directing live shows and
events. While at CUNA Mutual Group, he earned a total of sixteen
international, national and local awards for his work as a writer, director
and producer.
In 2006, Bruce formed Bennett Marketing & Media Production, LLC. Backed
with more than eighteen years of award-winning experience, Bennett
Marketing & Media Production creates video, film, multimedia, print and
Web-delivery media for clients across the United States.
Bruce is actively involved with several professional development
organizations including Media Communications Association-International and
Madison Advertising Federation. He served on Media Communication
Association-International Madison, Wisconsin chapter’s Board of Directors as
Special Events Chair (1994-1995) and Programming Chair (2002-2003). In
2003, the chapter recognized Bruce with its “Member of the Year” award.
