Who we are

Leadership

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, Brandt and Patrick
Partner
BEN

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.

Our go-to-crew

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.

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.

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.
