Colleen Horne is a passionate Creative Director based in Los Angeles
I build ideas that earn attention, shape culture, and create meaningful impact for brands.
For thirteen years, I’ve crafted integrated campaigns, brand platforms, first-in-class experiences, and unhinged social ideas that solve complex business challenges by giving customers and fans something worth talking about.
As a creative leader, I strive to build environments where my teams feel empowered to present audacious ideas - things that have never been done before. Why? Because people bring their best when they’re allowed to be curious and exploratory. Which, in turn, can be extremely profitable for business and culture. I truly believe this mindset will not only shatter industry norms, but also usher in the next era of creativity.
When I’m not working, I enjoy sailing, hosting bonfires with friends, smoking the occasional cigar, and ripping around LA on my Bonneville T120.
