About Brian

Brian Tate is a marketing strategist and cultural curator. His public programs examine the issues of our time, gathering people across traditional divides for vanguard arts experiences and frank talk. His marketing work defines the mythic narrative of a place, entity, or issue.  He has built forward-looking projects at the nexus of arts and ideas for more than 20 years, and he is an expert at convening frontline thinkers for fearless discussions of politics, ethics, history, and the future.

​

He is the founder and CEO of Tate Strategy, a New York City-based consulting firm that advises innovators in the arts, media, philanthropy, economic development, and community revitalization. He also independently produces major cultural initiatives and advises visionary artists and organizers on their projects.

​

He is guided by the example of his parents, Charles and Florence Tate, brilliant civil rights activists who espoused selfless action to drive social change.
