About Brien Grant

Brien Grant is a senior brand, creative, and digital transformation leader with over two decades of experience building strong brands by building healthy organizations. His career spans global agencies, major corporations, and entrepreneurship, with a consistent through-line: designing, scaling, and fixing creative and marketing organizations to drive measurable business results.He has deep expertise in building and leading in-house agencies, most notably as SVP and General Manager of Wonderful Digital, where he ran a 50+ person, full-service internal agency with full P&L responsibility. In that role, he centralized digital capabilities across a diverse brand portfolio, reduced costs, doubled productivity, improved creative quality, and introduced new disciplines (strategy, UX, media, analytics, engineering) without increasing headcount. He is highly experienced in making the business case for internal capability-building, securing significant capital investments, and delivering rapid ROI.Brien is equally effective in turnaround and growth environments. He has repeatedly been brought in to stabilize underperforming teams, rebuild culture and morale, and reestablish credibility with senior stakeholders and clients. At Razorfish, he rebuilt a failing office and creative organization, recovered lost accounts, won major new business, and restored profitability—often under extreme pressure and scrutiny.As a founder and managing partner of a boutique brand strategy agency, Brien has demonstrated entrepreneurial leadership, building a profitable business from the ground up and working with both well-known brands and emerging companies. This experience complements his corporate background, giving him a rare combination of operator, builder, and creative leader.
