Vivek Kuchibhotla

Founder
BFC Ideas

Vivek Kuchibhotla is the founder of BFC Ideas, a training consultancy focused on helping advertisers and agencies get to better ideas, faster. His broad background in the marketing, advertising, and training sides, as well as the fact that he himself “learned” to think creatively, gives him a unique perspective on teaching a subject that has long been considered a black box, or a “gift” reserved for a lucky few. 

His training career spans 22 years, 150+ clients, 15 countries, 3 continents, and two languages. His client list includes marketers like Kellogg, Heinz, Walmart, Philip Morris, Bacardi, Best Buy, Colgate, Kimberly Clark, and Coca Cola, among others. In the advertising space he has worked with all the major agency networks and many independent shops.

Before becoming a trainer, Vivek spent ten years working in brand management at Unilever, Kellogg, and SC Johnson. He also spent ten years working in account management at the Leo Burnett agency.  He has a degree in Management Science/Operations Research from Georgia Tech.

Vivek lives with his wife in the suburbs of Chicago.
