About - ClicOudoor Creative Agency

Building Digital Excellence Since 2017

From Humble Beginnings to a Trusted Digital Partner

What started as a ragtag team of two working from the founder’s basement, has grown into a dynamic digital agency trusted by businesses through the automotive and outdoor industries. Through dedication to quality, transparent communication, and a deep understanding of our clients' needs, we've built lasting partnerships that make a difference.

When I founded Clic, the goal was simple: create meaningful work for brands we believe in. I set out to help outdoor and automotive companies tell better stories, connect with the right people, and grow with purpose. Years later, we’re still doing exactly that through our Create + Activate process, continuing to position Clic as a leading creative agency in this space.

Our approach

01 Deep Understanding

We take the time to truly understand your business, goals, and challenges before proposing solutions. This foundation helps us truly serve your needs, and connect with you along the way.

02 Thoughtful Ideas

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all approach in marketing. Every campaign, social post, or photo is carefully crafted to address your specific challenges and opportunities.

03 Continuous Creativity

Creativity is the backbone of our business, and We're constantly learning, adapting, and finding better ways to serve our clients with innovative ideas that are tailored to their needs.

Who We Are

Our in-house experts lead and manage all projects, curating specialized teams to bring you the best results.

Isaac Van Essen

Founder, Head of Creative

Isaac is the founder of ClicOutdoor, and the person behind much of the company’s creative vision. While his role has grown with the business, he stays closely involved in the creative side. Isaac cares a lot about strong client relationships, doing work the team is proud of, and a culture where good ideas can actually happen. Outside of Clic, he’s usually in the mountains with his truck, or working on a project around the house – with his toddler son helping out. He’s a husband, father, and friend — and never takes himself too seriously.

Brandon Eide, MBA

Head of Strategy & Ops

Brandon heads the marketing side of the house at ClicOutdoor. He brings an MBA brain and marketing strategist’s eye to his role as Head of Strategy and Ops. He cares deeply about helping brands grow with smart, intentional marketing — but prefers to keep the process collaborative and free of unnecessary corporate stiffness. Outside of work, Brandon is either on his road bike, or talking at nauseum about the latest podcast he listened to. He’s a dad to the cutest 1-yr old human alive — which keeps him very occupied and constantly on his toes.

Harry Coward

Content Lead

Harry is an enigma. Nobody knows if he actually is employed at the company or if he just shows up because he bleeds small business marketing. Harry has worked in the creative small business world his whole career. He is passionate about setting up structures and creating workflows to establish effective creative teams in fast paced environments. Leading projects in the automotive space always come with obstacles so Harry is constantly on his toes ready to pivot or tackle a situation. He likes to expand his social network in and outside of work and if he’s not currently working on a project then he is working on working on a project.

David Todd

Soical Media and Photographer

David is ClicOutdoor’s social media manager, photographer, visual storyteller, and unofficial “guy who probably knows a guy” in the automotive industry. With an entrepreneurial mindset and a deep background in community building, content production, and special projects, David helps turn ideas into content that feels authentic, intentional, and built for the people who actually use the products. He’s been with ClicOutdoor since the early days, giving him a front row seat to the growth, chaos, wins, and stories that have shaped the agency. When he’s not behind a camera or managing content, he’s usually somewhere on the road, wheeling a new trail, working on off-road rigs with friends, or pretending that the next vehicle project will be “simple.”

Meryl Walden

Graphic Designer

Meryl is a designer and marketer, obsessed with funky type and textured illustrations. She is driven by crafting beautiful things and believes she’s right where she’s supposed to be. She has over five years of designing for various brands and industries. Think architecture, hospitality, event, and now, automotive and outdoor. Outside of the office, you can find her taking long walks with her fiance, hosting garden parties with friends, and probably drawing.

Tyler Mark

Editor and Videographer

Tyler is Clic’s Post-Production Specialist and the person who makes everything shine once the cameras stop rolling. From a quick social spot to a full ad campaign or a deeper story, his goal is always the same, to make a brand’s message land. His years editing and writing in the automotive space come in handy when turning technical details into something people actually want to watch. Away from the timeline, he’s usually exploring Colorado’s mountains or flying above them. He’s also a pilot, because apparently one pursuit involving complicated software and equipment wasn’t enough. Although he takes “we’ll fix it in post” much less casually in the cockpit.

Life at ClicOutdoor

Beyond The Office

At ClicOutdoor, we believe that a rich life outside of work makes for evolving and fresh points of view that feed into our work. For that reason, we make time for team bonding, learning new skills, and remember to slow-down to have some fun with each other in and out of the office.

At ClicOutdoor, we recognize that connection is key. We love to bring people together whether that be in-person or online - people are what allow us to drive Clic, our personal development, or our clients forward.

A Dedication to Craft

We believe that great work comes from mastering our chosen crafts. Every design decision, and every strategic recommendation, and every photo is backed by deep expertise and attention to detail.

A Foundation of Trust

We cultivate lasting partnerships by being direct, honest, and clear in our communication. Our clients always know where their projects stand and what decisions are being made to drive their success forward.

As we grow, our mission stays the same: help businesses succeed through thoughtful marketing solutions that create meaningful connections with their audiences.
