About Us

The co-founders, Kellie Pean and Alyssa Convertini, met while pursuing careers in marketing, music strategy and branded content at renowned companies. Dedicated to their craft, and in pursuit of equality and representation, they set off to create anew – Brand New. It was conceived through a shared journey and dream.

Our Story

With accomplished careers and the ultimate drive for excellence, Kellie and Alyssa challenged the norms and rewrote the rules of building an agency by continually striving to take thoughts, ideas, and artistry to the next level. Brand New brings its collective to the next level, which allows them to rise up and acquire new talents. It is this ability to wield new skills, access new opportunities, and gain a fresh perspective that has driven the agency to greatness. Brand New was created as an original, yet inspired by the past.

Brand New, and its diverse collective, incubates ideas, develops strategies, crafts integrated marketing campaigns, and executes with a fresh bent. It is an artistry unto itself. Brand New is not constrained by categories, disciplines or artistic approaches. Each concept is bespoke, reframes the experience, and creates a lasting memory. Brand New puts its collective imagination into action to produce fresh originality, which is guided by its moral compass that fuels both its energy and soul. Collectively, Brand New has the power to instigate change, influence a powerful shift, create anew, and present a fresh perspective.
