We are in the business of making the world a better place.
We started BrowneMusser in 2008 to make the world a better, more authentic, and empathetic place through the impactful work we do for our clients.
For our first decades in the business, we worked for some of the top agencies in the country.
For the past 15 years, we have been applying all the rigor that we learned on Madison Avenue to effectively solve a continuum of marketing challenges.
Leadership
Patrick Browne
President & Partner
Patrick is a seasoned marketing pro with a career that began in New York City, then moved on to San Francisco. With an eye towards cutting-edge media, blended with tried and true communication skills, Patrick founded BrowneMusser.
In August 2008, BrowneMusser launched just as the marketing world was rapidly changing. The economy collapsed in October, a new President was elected, and Apple introduced the iPhone. Clients were scrambling for new ways to get their message out to an increasingly fragmented audience. From the beginning, BrowneMusser embraced the new. The agency combined Madison Avenue experience, digital prowess, and entrepreneurial scrappiness to get results.
Jeff Musser
Creative Director & Partner
After graduating from the Art Center College of Design, Jeff gained his initial experience working with the top agencies in NY, and then San Francisco. Jeff brings a rich diversity of experience to every project he touches—so solutions are multifaceted and media agnostic. Having self-published a national magazine, founded a web design firm in 1995, and even been featured in Rolling Stone for his band from the mid-’90s, he is always looking for new and unique ways to reach and connect people to brands and causes. BrowneMusser has allowed him to continue to grow by blending his desire to leave the world better than he found it with creating work that matters for causes he believes in.

Our Beliefs
The Golden Rule is golden.
Yep, treat others like you want to be treated. It’s the heart of every major philosophy in the world, so that makes it good enough to be at the heart of ours.
Let’s take our work more seriously than we take ourselves.
We strive to create work that we hope elicits a bit of awe. Let’s keep that awe about our work, and not so much about ourselves.
Curiosity and wonder make life worth living.
Deeply pursue your interests. Embrace your inner nerd.
There is no bad music.
Step outside your comfort zone or what you know. Music comes from the soul, so while you might prefer one type of music over another, if a song touches someone else, don’t judge.
Pick up the phone.
Okay, it’s an allegory. Be direct. Seek the most efficient way to solve a problem. Don’t let anything fester.
Color outside the lines.
Sometimes the lines are our self-imposed limitations. Sometimes they are the silos created by job descriptions. Sometimes they are the rules we imagine are there based on seniority. Meh. Follow your gut instead.
Check your biases.
The world is bigger than your own lived experiences. You are just one point of reference, and there is a world filled with other rich, valuable, and different views that must be considered and welcomed.
