Hi, I'm Brent.

I lead marketing agencies, launch media-centric platforms, products, and portfolios, and love grouping things in threes.

What I Do Today

  • Executive & Business Leadership at Opus Agency:
    As Executive Vice President of Strategy and Solutions, I run our global strategy and go-to-market capabilities while overseeing our EMEA business. I partner with client teams at Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce (and many more!) to turn strategy into global execution.
  • Digital Products & Open Tools:
    I build tools at the intersection of technology and experience—including Orbit Across for spatial interaction and Conduct / Open Conduct for open-source strategy frameworks.
  • Writing The New New:
    I author a regular newsletter tracking foresight, digital trends, and culture shifts, connecting disparate dots to see what comes next.

The Path Here

I have spent three decades running agency businesses, scaling operations, and leading multidisciplinary teams.

Before Opus Agency, I served as Chief Digital Officer at MIT, held executive leadership roles at Ogilvy and Boathouse, built and sold my own marketing agency, and went through two startup-to-IPO journeys.

Through all of it, my teams will tell you they also cope with my curiosity for what's next, my joy in saying "I don't know, let's figure it out," and my knack for making three-item lists.

Off the Clock

I live outside Boston with my wife Joanna, our two teenage boys, and an ongoing fixer-upper of a house.
