Las Vegas boutique ad agency Brikman Advertising last month made its first expansion with a new outpost in West Hollywood.

With the move, Brikman has also hired Christian Piva as its new business director to help lead growth out of this new office. Piva was previously general manager of the United States branch of Brazilian footwear brand Yuool.

“I’m thrilled to expand Brikman Advertising by opening our second office in Los Angeles,” Yarden Brikman, founder and chief executive of the namesake agency, said in a statement. “As an immigrant, building and growing my own venture in such a dynamic and diverse market is truly a privilege.”

With the opening, the company is also running a campaign called The Open Brief, which invites businesses that have never worked with an ad agency to apply for free creative work.

Global market

Founded in 2022, Brikman Advertising touts itself as a “tight-knit group of creators” who “traded the big-firm grind for something authentic.” The agency’s clientele includes Hummus Republic – for which the agency has run an advertising campaign in the Los Angeles market – as well as vehicle company Mini, clothing brand Renuar and hair growth brand Tayloáni.

Piva’s resume includes local software developer Leaf VIP, Brazilian beverage company Devi Natural Beverages and Founders Running Club, a professional networking organization for the investing and tech space.

“We look forward to immersing ourselves in the vibrant L.A. market and believe Christian’s global experience perfectly aligns with our vision for deeper, culturally resonant collaborations,” Yarden Brikman said.
