Leadership Team

Concentrek's story began in 2002 when Brian Heady and Kent Sackman had a vision for an agency founded on one mantra:

Work Hard.
Be Honest.
Think Creative.

Since then, we’ve grown both in the size of our staff and in our capabilities. Concentrek is big enough to pair your specific needs with the ideal team—talented people who live and breathe design, messaging and development. Your projects are led and directed by a dedicated staff working in-house for you. The people you see here are the very people you’ll be working with because we believe that transparency equals trust.
