We are a team of award-winning thinkers, makers, doers and entrepreneurs. We grew up at the biggest and best creative agencies in the world and we saw the growing gap between what agencies are selling and what clients want to buy. Little Big Engine is our answer.
Patrick leads creative strategy and writing for Little Big Engine. Patrick has a pedigree of writing award-winning work for brands like Coke Zero, Nike, Jello and Samsung Mobile. He has also helped clients like Credit Karma and Buell reintroduce themselves to new markets. Patrick is at his best when he's telling funny stories. He'll use any media he can get his hands on to connect with people and tell them a story that makes them smile and dare we say, “LOL.”
Co-founder
Brandt leads creative production and art direction for Little Big Engine. He brings with him a rich history of big brand thinking and broadcast work. He earned his stripes at some of the industry’s top agencies, including Deutsch, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, 72 and Sunny and Wieden + Kennedy. He’s led creative development and overseen production on multiple award-winning campaigns for brands such as Burger King, Samsung, Chrysler, Playstation, Kraft and Facebook. Brandt is now an accomplished director and everything you’ve seen on our site was directed by him.
Co-founder
We’ve flipped the traditional agency model and instead of having expensive full time employees, we start little with a consistent leadership team and then go big by tapping into our roster of award-winning independent talent to build a team of seasoned experts to work on your project. Here are a few we love:
Angela wears the coolest glasses you’ve ever seen. But more than that, Angela has put in more than 25 years in advertising. She lives in Portland, where she spent the last 7 years as a Group Strategy Director at W+K Portland. She's worked with great brands in tech, automotive, CPG, tourism, hospitality and many more. Angela has three mini schnauzers, two teenage girls and she owns an Australian Sports Pub with her Aussie husband.
Strategy
Kevin built the motion design team at Landor and led the work behind some of the most eye-catching and award winning projects for big brands like Accenture, P&G, Coca-Cola, Unisys, and Volkswagen. Before landing at Landor, he was the go-to motion lead at Turner Duckworth, steering a small but mighty team that brought fresh motion ideas to brands like McDonald’s, United Healthcare, and Samsung.
Design/Animation
As far as we know, Duff doesn’t have a last name. But as our executive producer he makes sure we get the best crew money can buy for our shoots. Duff has produced everything from TV commercials to award-winning feature films to Netflix Original docuseries. Because of his diverse experience in the world of production, Duff can get scrappy with any budget and help LBE pull off miracles without ever sacrificing quality of idea or production value.
Executive Producer
Alisa took Purple Mattress from its Kickstarter campaign to a public company with $700 million/year in revenue in just four years and achieved the top monetized Facebook account globally. After spending $100 million+ on testing ads, we partner with Alisa to unleash her social advertising super powers for clients wanting to supercharge revenue or test and optimize creative to see what can deliver the desired results. Alisa is key in making sure you can hold our creative accountable.
Director of Social & Performance
Amy has been working in production for over 20 years. Her organizational, technical, and communication skills support clients and production crews to create cohesive workflows on projects. When Amy is not in Utah with her partner, 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a yard that is too big to weed, she is road tripping or getting lost in Europe.
Production Operations
Michael was born and raised in NYC and now, he just so happens to live in Utah. He's worked at Tombras and done direct client work with LBE for the last 2 years. When he’s not making words sound good, or thinking of dope social campaigns, Michael is probably golfing, playing with his kiddo or watching any A24 film.
Social Copywriter
Nick grew up as a writer at big agencies like Crispin and McCann. But he saw the writing on the wall with performance and production. So he left and started his own performance marketing company. Nick specializes in big brand creative ideas that can drive measurable results. So he’s perfect for LBE. He also used to have way cooler hair than this picture.
