Because we GET you
Big Sis is a creative studio for brands that need clear thinking, sharp taste, and honest direction. We don’t sugarcoat, we don’t overcomplicate, and we don’t chase trends for the sake of it. We listen closely, lead with optimism and kindness, and say the things that need saying to help you make the right call — not just the easy one.

Let’s be real.
-
People tune out the moment they feel sold to. You establish interest and trust when they feel recognized and build a relationship.
-
Surprise is what makes people stop and pay attention. Not everything needs to be loud, but it does need a point of view that gives the work a reason to exist.
-
It only works if it sounds like you. The best ideas feel obvious in hindsight because they shine a light on something real, uniquely true to your brand.
Our Bread and Butter
We have a habit of getting things done. It’s a Midwest thing. When it’s time to roll up our sleeves, we lean on decades of combined experience and a slew of talented people we know and trust. We’re not interested in doing just one kind of work — we’re built to help brands shine, wherever the work lives and however it comes to life.
From iconic global brands to local mom-and-pops, we’ve delivered award-winning work for B2B and B2C audiences across nearly every type of media. And we obsess over the details, because a single social post deserves the same love as a national campaign.
We’re especially drawn to mission-driven, community-minded brands with a clear point of view and leaders who stay close to the work. We love supporting women-owned businesses and founders from underrepresented communities, and we’re always interested in work rooted in care, responsibility, and purpose. Great partnerships come in many forms — but the common thread is intention. If the work matters to you, it matters to us.
Ready when you are
We're eager to be your creative ally, but first we chat. No two projects or partnerships are the same, so we'd love to know a little more about who you are and what you're hoping to build together.
