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.
Ben has spent 20+ years at some of the most celebrated agencies in the world: BBDO, TBWA\Chiat\Day, Droga5, Johannes Leonardo. He knows what happens when bold creative thinking meets real business ambition. He joined Little Big Engine because of a shared belief that accountability isn't just a talking point. It's the whole point. Every idea, every execution, every dollar measured against what actually matters to the client's brand and business.
LinkedInBrandt leads creative production and art direction for Little Big Engine. He earned his stripes at Deutsch, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, 72 and Sunny and Wieden + Kennedy.

Brandt is now an accomplished director and everything you've seen on our site was directed by him.
LinkedInPatrick leads creative strategy and writing for Little Big Engine. He has a pedigree of writing award-winning work for brands like Coke Zero, Nike, Jello and Samsung Mobile.

LinkedInWe’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:

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.
