Libby Brockhoff
Founder, CEO, Head of Art.
As CEO and Co-Founder of Odysseus Arms in San Francisco and a longtime industry pioneer, Libby has reimagined what a modern agency looks like by creating a company that’s highly collaborative, diverse, socially driven and results obsessed. She also developed the creative and strategic method Third3ye™, a one-of-a-kind approach that yields unprecedented results for her clients. Libby’s path as an industry disruptor began in London where she co-founded renowned agency Mother at the age of 27 and led the company to considerable success including being named Campaign’s “Agency of the Decade.” Throughout her career, Libby crafted advertising strategies for Silicon Valley tech giants like Facebook, Microsoft and YouTube. She’s also influenced cultural issues by directing the reframing of the transgender narrative as the creative visionary behind the launch of Caitlyn Jenner’s on-air image, and also activated Amnesty International supporters to help Obama’s Arms Trade Treaty pass in the United Nations.
Franklin Tipton
Founder, CCO, Head of Copy.
Franklin has overseen integrated advertising and brand launches for some of the world’s best-known brands. He established the voice for Method, launched Mini Cooper into the U.S. market, and introduced Virgin Atlantic to the States. All before he was enlisted to take on creative leadership for Sprint. His Sprint “Now” campaign turned the telecom behemoth’s fortunes around on its way to global creative recognition.
With more Cannes Titanium Lions (one of which was awarded to the campaign that helped move a business forward more than any other in the world) on his shelf than any other San Francisco creative director, he mothers over each effort’s smallest details. This mastery of craft has translated to highly tuned campaigns across the alcoholic beverage industry including Miller Lite, Bushmills, and E. & J. Gallo.
His “your mission is my mission” motto has inspired creative teams around the world at A-list organizations including Mother in London, Publicis Mojo in Australia and Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Most recently, he’s led Odysseus Arms on Cannes-recognized work for Amnesty International, helped reimagine the Kodak brand for the digital age, worked with HotelTonight to craft the language behind its global expansion, and ushered Barefoot into a new age of social media engagement.
