Your growth partner
Brian
Brian has spent the last decade in the DTC trenches, partnering with disruptor brands to scale while building operational loops that actually work. He got his start into digital when traffic campaigns were the only option available on Meta and Google. In his free time, he's endlessly scrolling YouTube Shorts, listening to indie music, and drinking IPAs.
Osten
Osten (Austin) may have spelled his name wrong, but it's fine. He's devoted the last 6+ years partnering with DTC brands helping them scale through paid media and creative strategy while tying in a holistic approach to performance operations. Outside of work, you can find him at the gym, playing soccer, hiking, and making yogurt bowls (he really likes yogurt bowls).
Julia
Julia is chronically online and gets paid for it. She’s spent the last several years partnering with fast-growing DTC brands on creative strategy and integrated media, leading campaigns from brief to execution. Outside of work, you can find her doom-scrolling in the name of inspiration, analyzing trending sounds, or zoning out to house music.
Heather
Heather has spent the last 8 years helping DTC brands scale with creative-first performance strategies. She got her start as a media buyer, survived the iOS14 apocalypse and became obsessed with what gets users to stop scrolling. She thrives at the intersection of data and creativity, using insights to craft winning ads. After work you can find her reading mythology retellings, binging scary movies and defending the Lost finale with zero shame.
Jamie
Jamie treats design like a love language. Equal parts obsession and overthinking. She spends her days turning caffeine and pixels into designs she’ll probably tweak ten more times anyway, because apparently “done” is a relative term. When she’s not locked in a hyper focused design trance, you’ll find her pestering the neighborhood cat (he actually loves her), being humbled in pilates class, or on TikTok and Instagram in the name of “research".

Lamija
Strategy-first, boring-never. That's Lamija's approach to making brands pop. She's spent nearly a decade working across various industries, always bringing bold creative thinking to the table. When she clocks out, you'll find her in the boxing ring working on her left hook, deep in a gaming session, or doing what any reasonable person does: scrolling through endless cat videos and memes (She loves cats).
Ellie
Ellie is the team's professional yapper and unofficial morale officer. As Chief Vibe Slinger at Middle Out, she's mastered the art of the perfectly-timed call cameo and keeps Slack notifications popping off. Her core competencies include spreading good vibes, conducting thorough snack audits, and reminding everyone that work is better when it doesn't feel like work. When Ellie isn't working, you can find her... wait, this is her work. But she's probably still hunting for snacks.
Ice Cream Cake
The team really likes ice cream cake. Specifically from Salt & Straw.
