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.
