Ben Bounds

Ben comes to UME as a top Medical Equipment and PPE Account Manager after running his own successful business in California for over twenty years. Ben initially expressed his entrepreneurial spirit in a big way by founding and running his own exclusive entertainment industry catering service in Los Angeles serving such Hollywood clients as The Voice, American Idol, You’ve Got Talent and many more TV and feature film productions.

When events recently shut down in Hollywood due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Ben was determined to do his part to help others acquire the PPE and other medical supplies they so desperately need. This new direction for his career was a natural transition from his service-oriented, upscale catering company. It was another valid way for him to serve his fellow man and provide the very personal hands-on customer service he is known for in the industry today.

Brian Gartland

Born and raised in the Midwest, Brian started his career as a radio DJ known as Marc Andrews and concert promoter in Youngstown, Ohio. Later, he moved to Columbus, Ohio to attend The Ohio State University where he double-majored in Business Marketing and Economics. Brian immediately accepted a position with Steiner & Associates, launching the Easton Town Center, an outdoor entertainment complex backed by Les Wexner where he drove the events team and the media buying team.

Later, he moved to the non-profit arena, where he worked for the Columbus Arts Council. After being hired, he was able to secure more cash sponsors than any of his predecessors in the 40-year history of the event. Brian worked tirelessly to reinvigorate the event and was able to draw the largest crowd exceeding 500K people over a 3-day period.

In 2002, Brian relocated to Los Angeles to chase his dreams to work in the entertainment industry. He worked in the shopping center industry at the Burbank Town Center for several years winning multiple awards for Marketing and Community Impact campaigns. All while building a new revenue stream by working with locations scouts from all film studios securing filming location opportunities.

In 2006, Brian joined the Skechers USA team, where he directed the marketing efforts of over 250 retail locations in the US and Canada. He was able to drive over $13M in sales over a 3-month Back-to-School program exceeding all previous year efforts.

In February of 2008, he started at Sony Pictures as the Director of the Merchandising and was quickly promoted to Executive Director of Retail Marketing. During his time at Sony, he was able to renegotiate several agreements to ultimately save the company over $18M in service fees. In addition, Brian worked to drive Home Entertainment sales for over 45 film releases at various retail accounts.

In 2011, he moved to 20th Century Fox where he drove retail marketing efforts for Walmart and Target by developing in-store marketing programs, .com executions, and digital platform overlays. Brian was actually on the task force to help Walmart launch its Vudu streaming service. Later, he transitioned to the Global Partnerships team as an Executive Director where he secured millions of dollars in media advertising dollars through partnerships with national brands and films such as X-Men, Deadpool, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Maze Runner, and several others.

Brian later moved to the Fox Consumer Products team where he was able to flex his creative abilities, ultimately leading to a highlight in his career, which was winning “Best Global Partnership of the Year” in 2019 for a partnership with Google and the Home Alone franchise. Brian secured over $11M in licensed promotions and licensed products.
