Brian Raes

Brian joined Drake Cooper with a background that spans nearly every corner of content production. As a Producer, he partners with teams across the agency to shape ideas, solve problems, and bring projects to life—ensuring the work is delivered on time, on budget, and with the level of craft clients expect.

His path into agency life wasn’t exactly conventional. Brian began his career in cinematography, working across documentary, commercial, and branded content before discovering his real talent was orchestrating the entire creative process. Since then, he’s become a trusted collaborator known for turning ambitious ideas into practical production plans—and for always being ready with a solution when the unexpected happens.

Outside of work, Brian is happiest around airplanes: flying them, filming them, or talking about them with anyone willing to listen. He also has a habit of carrying a camera wherever he goes, just in case something worth capturing happens.

Q&A

What is something you are great at?

Telling stories. I love to tell people stories that I am passionate about, whether it’s science, history, a place I’ve been, or some meal I’ve eaten. Weaving some narrative together and getting people interested and excited with a story.

Do you have a pet peeve?

Strangers or anonymous people on the internet telling their opinion about something and closing with “Trust me.” Like, I have no idea who you are, why would I trust you?

What is your motto?

“We’ll get ’em next year.”
