About

Andy Coleman holds a degree in advertising and public relations with a minor in broadcasting from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, graduating in 2006. He has spent his academic and professional career developing a unique combination of business sense, creativity, humor and artistry.

While his professional repertoire crosses disciplines, it is grounded heavily in media planning and buying within the Pittsburgh agencies Brunner, MARC USA and currently BAM Advertising. Between them, he’s had the opportunity to work across a varied roster of brands including Bob Evans Restaurants, Cedar Fair Amusement Parks, Culligan Water, Culver’s Restaurants, Moen faucets, the Pennsylvania Lottery, TGI Friday’s and True Value Hardware.

Prior to joining the agency world, he completed a 12.5 month whirlwind tour in ‘media sales’ (hawking big screen televisions, computers — and the long-term protection plans that come with them) at the now-defunct Circuit City in West Mifflin, Pa. From this, he was able to obtain a unique tolerance and patience, knowledge of the retail industry and a pretty sweet TV.

Andy is absolutely at home on any stage, from theatrical performance, live music or public speaking.

Contrary to popular belief, he is not related in any way to the following individuals or corporations:

• Gary Coleman (R.I.P.)
• Dabney Coleman
• Coleman, the butler from the 1983 film Trading Places
• Anyone from the iconic camping and outdoors supply company

During his free time, Andy enjoys driving too fast, weekday/end drink specials and writing bios in the third person.
