Big Red Jelly | CEO + Co-founder | Provo | 32
Take marketing, add a whole lot of creativity and vision, and you’ve got Big Red Jelly. Eight years ago, Josh Webber and his brother, Zach, saw the need for a revamped kind of marketing agency — “one that was truly collaborative, transparent and focused on getting real results.” The results are real for their clients, and for themselves. Big Red Jelly has landed as an Inc. 5000 winner, a MWCN top 50 fastest-growing company, and a Utah Valley BusinessQ UV50 top 30 fastest-growing company. But even deeper than that is the incredible team they’ve built, with a hunger to craft award-winning creative work. If a Big Red Jellyfish could talk, it would say it’s proud.
SHARPER SKILLS Over the years, I’ve become better at 1) project management, 2) being radically candid, 3) being “an extrovert” and 4) operations and finance. CODE RED When the world suddenly shifted with Covid, many of our clients understandably hit pause. We quickly realized we needed to adapt – and fast. We doubled down on helping businesses pivot online, develop stronger digital strategies, and connect with their audiences in new and innovative ways. This meant quickly adjusting our service offerings and how we approached client relationships. PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS 1) Consistency ultimately breeds velocity. It’s not always about massive bursts of effort, but rather the steady, reliable execution of our work. 2) Having solid routines in place helps us stay organized and focused. 3) Learn when to say no. Saying no to projects or initiatives that don’t align with our core strengths or our long-term vision allows us to dedicate our energy to the things where we can truly excel. MAIN MOTIVATION Walking into the office and seeing the incredible talent and innovative ideas our team brings to the table — that’s what truly inspires me. Secondly, seeing our clients flourish and knowing that our creative work played a part in that growth is incredibly rewarding. Finally, our partnership with nonprofit Be Humanitarian is a huge motivator. Being able to leverage our skills and resources to support such a meaningful cause adds a whole other layer of purpose to our work. LIVING LEGACY I hope my career leaves a legacy of fostering an environment where innovative ideas flourish and lead to tangible success. I aspire to be remembered as a mentor who empowered the next generation of agency creatives, helping them unlock their potential and reach new heights in their careers.
