E135 Kamp Grizzly's Secret to Disruption is Always Looking Forward

Dan Portrait is Kamp Grizzly’s Chief Creative Officer and founder. Portrait’s artistic upbringing in Portland’s hotbed of subcultures, music and film during the early 90’s helped to shape the young creative’s approach to founding and running Kamp Grizzly, one of the most accredited and forward-thinking creative agencies, known for blurring the lines between advertising and entertainment. Portrait’s natural curiosity and creative outlook has been instrumental in impacting Kamp Grizzly’s DNA and approach to immersive storytelling - no matter the medium. 

The agency boasts a growing portfolio of award-winning branded content and disruptive activations with client partners including adidas North America, Netflix, Amazon, Uber Eats, Moet, Fanatics, and Oakley. Kamp Grizzly received its first Lion at the 2023 Cannes Festival for the Halloween Uber Eats short horror film “Don’t’ Run Out” directed by Dan Trachtenberg starring Keke Palmer. The Kamp Grizzly team is also behind Oakley’s newest multimedia odyssey, Future Genesis, which continues to unfold with an animated fiction film and preview comic drop.
