CREATIVE DIRECTOR • BRAND STRATEGIST • MARKETING LEADER

Building brands
that
move people.

I'm Tate Holcombe, a creative director and marketing leader with 15+ years turning strategy into standout creative across video, digital, brand, and multi-channel campaigns for national organizations, advocacy groups, and corporate brands.

About

Strategy meets execution.

I lead creative teams that deliver, from concept to final asset, across every channel. My work sits at the intersection of brand strategy, visual storytelling, and the operational discipline it takes to ship at speed without sacrificing quality.

As Creative Director at Go Big Media and Think Big, I've built and managed multi-disciplinary teams producing hundreds of assets annually across digital, print, CTV, video, and web, serving national political organizations, corporate brands, and public affairs campaigns reaching millions.

Before stepping into leadership, I spent years directing video productions, doc-style content, and mixed-media projects, building a foundation in hands-on craft that still informs how I approach every brief.
