Who we are
We love helping businesses look their best and showcase their products and services.
Although BIGGIE Brands is relatively young, our founder Kat Kotrla has many years of experience in design and marketing.
In 2002, after studying at the Art Institute of Dallas, Kat returned to Austin and founded his first design firm, Design Project Neko which had a funky stylistic design voice and worked for clients in the iconic Austin music scene like Stubb’s BBQ and C3 Presents (Austin City Limits Festival / Lollapalooza).
Not long after that, he co-founded a successful SaaS (software as a service) company, which is still in business today, almost 20 years later.
At BIGGIE Brands we are both designers and marketers, which makes us a unique partner. As creatives, we understand the importance of making things functional, effective, and beautiful.

Automated Marketing for Cartridge World
"We know the marketing landscape has changed in terms of digital marketing, but we had no idea how or where to get started. BIGGIE Brands has helped us stay in touch with relevant marketing messages to our existing customers, while simultaneously reaching out to cold leads in our targeted area. All of this marketing is automated which is great, because unfortunately I don’t have a lot of time to devote to continuous follow up. Once I approve the campaign, I sit back and wait for the responses."

BIGGIE Brands is the one you can count on.
"Over the past two years, BIGGIE Brands has been an invaluable partner to City Jewell as we've tackled the branding for various lifestyle brands and restaurants. From conception through to opening, they've skillfully handled everything for three of our hospitality brands—branding, menu design, signage, print collateral, and websites. No matter what we need, BIGGIE Brands delivers with exceptional quality and creativity."
