Greg Kerns has always been passionate about creating work that makes people think, feel and respond. After studying drama at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, he began his professional career as a playwright at the National Black Theatre in Harlem before becoming a television writer and producer for Disney Channel, MTV and BET.

Over the past two decades, Greg has translated his writing, directing and storytelling skills into the advertising industry, leading creative work at agencies including Grey, Digitas, Moxie and Rauxa. As a creative director and writer, he has guided the creative vision for integrated campaigns, commercial productions and digital experiences for brands including Verizon, AT&T, Aetna, BMW and MINI Financial Services.

Greg previously served as Vice President and Co-Lead of Moxie’s creative department, overseeing a multidisciplinary team of art directors, designers, copywriters, content creators, front-end developers and user experience architects. In 2018, he stepped away from agency leadership to devote more time to screenwriting and original storytelling.

In 2026, Greg produced the award-winning short film “Waiting,” which made its festival debut at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival. He also launched Stories by Greg Kerns, an original collection of short stories available at gregkerns.tv, and continues to build the Grown Folks Creative Movement, a growing community of more than 1,200 followers on TikTok that encourages creatives and professionals to reinvent themselves at every stage of life.

Today, Greg serves as Creative Lead for Georgia-Pacific’s in-house agency, TreeHouse. He also operates Greg Kerns Creative, LLC, where he produces branded content, commercial video and original film projects while continuing to champion the power of storytelling across advertising, entertainment and digital media.
