PRICIPALS

Brett and Kathryn founded Highline in 2016, but the agency has roots from last century. 

Because our clients don't need the same resources as a consumer product, our agency is organized differently.

Since 1996 we have developed a network of independent, creative partners who join us to swarm a project and then disappear when it's complete. Some of our projects have 20 people on them. Others have three. Whatever it takes.

Designers, video producers, writers, architects, interactive designers, land use planners, programmers, musicians, event producers, PR experts. All veterans.

We take this approach for a few reasons: clients save money; it allows us to be solution agnostic; and we can use the most talented person for the job regardless of where they live.
