Big Smarts.
Bigger Hearts.
Since 2006, Braintrust has evolved into a strategic partner for brands seeking momentum in their marketing. Built on a foundation of integrity, transparency, and deep community ties, we bring clarity and purpose to modern marketing.
Our Story
When Kurt Ouchida and Michael Coldwell met, they were marketing execs representing rival resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. After leaving the corporate world, they launched Braintrust to build the kind of agency they’d always wanted to hire: smart, nimble, creative, and deeply committed to client success.
Two decades later, that spirit lives on. We’re a team of good-hearted people doing great work for great clients. Our strength comes from balance: different backgrounds, different perspectives, working in sync. We bring life into our ideas, and honesty into our process. No ego, no jargon, just the drive to push boundaries and make something meaningful. At Braintrust, growth isn’t a goal, it’s a result. When our clients win, we all move forward together.

What We Offer
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or magic formulas. We believe in solving real problems with sharp ideas — where smart strategy meets bold creativity, rooted in human truth. Sometimes you may need an integrated campaign. Sometimes it’s a single project or a focused service. Either way, we bring the right mix of insight, instinct, and craft to the table. We’re not about volume. We’re about intention. We listen carefully, and create meaningful work that inspires results.

Passion with a Purpose
Our culture is grounded in balance — of ideas, voices, and lived experience. We come from different places, bring different perspectives, and believe that’s what makes the work better. Purpose drives us, passion sustains us, and respect connects us. The result is a place where creativity thrives, collaboration is real, and people feel seen. That’s Braintrust.
