HERBALPERT_BOXSET - Porizek Design Group

Brian Porizek has an eye for design. His knowledge of all things production is immense, which makes working on a project with him as close to perfection as you can achieve. Over the last 20 years, we have worked with Brian on very large scale to very small projects: box sets, vinyl, CDs, books, posters, marketing, holiday cards, each with their own necessity for detail. Brian is always my first call on any piece of design or production work. It’s a privilege to know and work with someone as skilled as Brian Porizek.

In the 20 years that we at CEG have been in business, Brian has been the most valued partner in our day-to-day efforts of releasing music. From the high-caliber artistic design elements for packages (Grammy nominated!) to all the assets needed in a cohesive marketing plan, Brian is simply the BEST! Brian’s ability to maneuver through distribution, manufacturing, and production issues makes his services vital to our campaigns.

FRED CROSHAL

Croshal Entertainment Group

Brian Porizek brings so much to the table. He has been a key member of Bonnie Raitt’s indie label Redwing Records since its inception in 2011. As a bridge between the music and behind-the-scenes mechanics of an indie label, his expertise in manufacturing and distribution coupled with his meticulous approach toward label services provides an invaluable linchpin in one’s operation. And it doesn’t end there. Brian has a wonderful creative eye and talent for all things graphic design, and can support a label and artist from album packaging and social media assets to marketing materials and merchandise development. At the end of the day, though, the secret to his success is being a patient, good natured, diligent and dedicated member of the team.

KATHY KANE

Redwing Records

I over-see recording artist Herb Alpert’s record label and 60 year catalog of recordings. I have personally been working with Brian since 2014. Brian has been directly involved both creatively and collaboratively in designing and or art directing 42 album releases, a couple dozen print & online marketing and advertising campaigns as well as designing and maintaining 3 different websites for us. Brian also handles all of our CD and vinyl LP needs. He works with many different record pressing plants all around the world to achieve our critical standards. Both Herb and I have the utmost respect and appreciation of Brian’s creative and business acumen!
