For the last few years I’ve worked at Accenture Song, delivering integrated projects that drive holistic value.

Before Accenture, I led creative at a boutique agency in Chicago. The variety in the work and clients was exciting then and invaluable now.

Brands realize they need partners who can deliver holistic value that reaches across products, marketing, and experiences. My career has prepared me to do exactly that.

 
 
 

 

We redefined recruiting for a tech giant by telling human stories.

A story in the Milan Review.

 
 
 

People don’t care about experiences. They don’t want to connect with brands. They don’t care how human you think your story is.

They want value. In whatever shape it takes. Wherever they are.

Brands have to be relentless in their pursuit of value. And agencies have to be infinitely flexible in how they deliver it.

You can’t start with an experience and then figure out how it can deliver value. You start with value and figure out which experiences can make it possible.

 
 
 

I have not met a client that didn't fall in love with Brent's ideas, personality, and approach.
