#537 - Daniel Portrait | How Kamp Grizzly Lands Apple, Adidas & Uber Eats Work
About this episode
Daniel Portrait discusses the evolution of Kamp Grizzly and its approach to modern advertising.
Daniel Portrait, founder of Kamp Grizzly, breaks down how the agency evolved from a small Portland studio into a global creative partner for brands like Apple, Adidas, Uber Eats, HBO, and Amazon. In this conversation, he explains how Kamp Grizzly grew over 20+ years into an 80+ person agency and how their approach to experiential marketing and IRL activations has become central to modern advertising. He shares why brands are investing more in real-world moments that scale digitally, along with the thinking behind campaigns like Uber Eats’ Halloween film. Daniel also gets into what agencies need to win in a creator-driven, AI-influenced industry, why “joy” is becoming a KPI, and what he looks for when hiring the next generation of creatives. Throughout the episode, he shares lessons from working with top brands and why having a strong point of view continues to separate great creative work from the rest.
