A LITTLE BIT ABOUT US

We love helping companies meet their goals.

We design everything we do digitally with an expectation to track, analyze, improve, and most importantly, learn. It’s where consultation and implementation intersect and it’s our key differentiator. It enables us to refine and improve our services each month.

We’re also not a “set it and forget it” kind of company. In fact, we’re the exact opposite. We’re hands on. We pay attention. We make sure that any tactics we put into play align with your strategy and that we track them like crazy. And we analyze the data in order to do more than create a pretty report. We analyze the data so we can pull insights and share them with you in order to make changes that matter to your business growth. If something’s not working, we’ll tell you – and tell you why. If something is working, we’ll optimize it to make it even better.

We know, too well, that the world of digital is a dark maze of cross-platform, multi-channel, inter-connected, constantly changing technologies that inform and create the customer journey. As this world changes, so do we.

THE TEAM

Derrick Kuhn

Director of Strategy & Owner

An entrepreneur at heart, I approach all obstacles and challenges with intensity. As a vigorous researcher, I both learn and share my knowledge with those around me in the pursuit of personal and professional growth. Growth, a central theme and pursuit in my life, allows me to not only improve myself but also our clients and our team members. I often focus my efforts in a handful of areas: 1) The progression of human development and how we can improve ourselves 2) Growth strategy for businesses and 3) The rapid evolution of technology.

My professional achievements include:

  1. Managing all digital marketing for UCHealth
  2. Managing all of CSU Online’s degree programs including the online MBA, which grew enrollment tenfold during my five years.
  3. Assembling an incredibly talented cast of all stars to deliver tremendous results for their clients
  4. Building and selling over five companies both within the digital space as well as other “traditional” industries

Each day I bring my diverse experience and knowledge, in both business and technology, to serve clients and help them achieve their goals.

Vivianna Davis

Director of Operations & Strategist

When I’m not working to grow client business as a Digital Marketing & SEO strategist, you can find me at the Pilates studio or hanging out with my highly energized dog. With a background in both online and traditional marketing, I’ve spent the majority of my career working for marketing agencies in Fort Collins, although, I did spend a brief time working in the aerospace manufacturing industry which is sort of random.

I have a passion for educating clients on how to effectively leverage technology and marketing data to grow their businesses. I’m proud to say I’m a Colorado State alumni and am flattered to be recently nominated as a Northern Colorado Woman of Distinction for 2019.

Nate Shugrue

Director of Business Development

Believe it or not, I’m one of those rare Colorado natives. My coworkers might tell you I’m slightly obsessed about the NBA and basketball in general. I live for the day that CSU basketball wins the NCAA tournament.

At work, I love helping grow the businesses of passionate owners while also providing insights on how to sustain success. I enjoy building relationships and connecting with our clients, partners, and the northern Colorado community as a whole. I believe what we do is a unique blend of understanding how people think and integrating that with technology. Oh, and the Marvel Universe rules.

Josh Stess

Senior Data Analyst

I’ve called Fort Collins my home for quite some time even though I grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I might be slightly obsessed about a handful of things. Most days, I find myself contorting my body into weird positions at the climbing gym or convincing friends that they should play a board game with me. I also enjoy being challenged by shows like True Detective and The Expanse, although I do admit to the guilty pleasure of East Bound and Down.

At my desk, I focus on providing actionable information for clients by interpreting the data we collect. I also develop methods to find valuable insights through the online actions that we track using a variety of analytics.

Katie Crooks

Project Manager & Digital Strategist

I’m a mountain girl who is lucky enough to get the chance to work remotely from Aspen, Colorado! On my weekends, I enjoy exploring the Roaring Fork Valley with my dogs, Moose and Grizzly, fly fishing in the nearby Gold Medal Waters, hiking on Independence pass and even hitting the ski slopes from time to time. As a CSU graduate, I love getting the opportunity to spend a few days in Fort Collins every month meeting with clients and catching up with the team.

When I’m at my desk, I enjoy working with clients to utilize digital marketing to help meet their business goals, whatever they may be. I have a passion for all facets of digital marketing but if I was forced to choose, my favorites would be local and technical SEO (ask me about the difference!). I enjoy spending time with clients to learn the ins and outs of their business in order to help form a strategy for growth.

Bryan Kuhn

Advisor & Counsel

Off the clock, I head to the hills for as much powder as I can find. Unless, of course, there’s no powder, then I head to the hills in my Lotus and enjoy the scenery. I consider myself to be a lifelong and dedicated “professional entrepreneur.” Licensed as an attorney in the state of Colorado (USA), I specialize in business and employment law and manage my own law practice in downtown Denver.

My consultation and advice come backed with my in-depth professional experience that spans hundreds of court trials, arbitrations, legal disputes, and business transactions as a partner level attorney as well as participating in domestic and international business deals.

Testimonials

Here’s what our clients have to say about us:

Working with Brillity for over two years has been a blast! They’ve taken the mystique out of digital marketing for us, and deliver results (aka new revenue) time-and-time again. We’re a small company, yet always feel we’re Brillity’s biggest customer. Very reliable.

Bonny B., Colorado Colon & Rectal Specialists

My employer hired Brillity in October to take over our digital marketing and we’ve already seen a VAST improvement. The team is incredibly responsive, timely, great at translating to layman’s terms for those more in-depth digital conversations, and have trained me to truly understand digital marketing hands-on. Grateful to be working with this understanding and patient team, and excited to see how our brand grows and evolves in the digital space thanks to their expertise!

I’ve been working with the Brillity team for a few months now, and they are awesome! They all work together to really well and they’re professional in how they handle your online presence. They have been working to transfer my domain and website to different hosting, and with any issue they might run into, they figure it out and give me an update. I trust them with all things digital for my business needs.

Marissa Orchard, Under Pressure Therapeutics & The Orchard

Brillity is a rare find–digital marketers who are not only masters of their craft, but genuinely personable, likable people that make it easy and fun to work together. Our agency has experienced great results with Brillity as our digital marketing partner.

Johnny Hyde, Excelsior! Branding & Creative

Brillity Digital has been instrumental in getting my new regenerative medicine brand off the ground. They quickly acted to create a website when I needed that, which was amazing. They have been close advisors overall. They are tuned into my standards for taking care of patients and they understand my core values in providing quality, innovative and personalized care. This is important because they are able to represent me accurately, and that is because they pay attention, they listen, and they care about what they are doing. It is quite a team. They are great to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Brad Abrahamson, Integrative Sports Medicine

If you ask me what was one of the keys to our explosive growth, I’d tell you hiring the team at Brillity Digital. They are strategic, thoughtful and dedicated to the success of my business. They are one of the few partners I’ve felt like goes the distance to understand the complete picture of my business and always looks for ways to add value beyond the scope at hand. Their work is top level in terms of strategy and delivery. As an innovation business we move faster than most, and they are right there with me. Almost don’t want to write this cause then you will all know one of my key secrets to success.
