Bryan Phelps

Bryan Phelps is the founder and CEO of Big Leap, a digital marketing agency that helps businesses build scalable growth systems through a strategic blend of brand and performance. What began as a self-taught journey in SEO back in 2005 has evolved into a leadership role guiding national brands through today’s shifting marketing landscape.

Since founding Big Leap in 2008, Bryan has grown the company from a solo consultancy into a 80+ person agency trusted by companies across industries—from high-growth startups to private equity-backed brands. Under his leadership, Big Leap has developed a Brand-Led Performance Marketing framework that helps clients align paid media, SEO, content, digital PR, and revenue operations to build trust, drive efficiency, and improve customer acquisition over the long term.

Investors, Founders, and Marketing Leaders alike turn to Bryan and his team when short-term tactics stop working and a more resilient, system-driven marketing strategy is needed.

Bryan and his team have led 1,000+ marketing campaigns and bring deep experience in helping brands modernize their marketing foundation while navigating operational complexity. He also plays an active role mentoring marketing leaders and building teams that scale.

When he's not leading the agency, Bryan can be found with his family, on the golf course, or rewatching The Office and Parks and Rec.

Bryan has worked for over 18 years in digital marketing. He also formerly served as Utah’s Digital Marketing Collective (DMC) Membership Director where he helped host monthly education events and conferences.
