Kuba Bogaczyński is well-traveled, but you will almost always find him at the intersection of creative ideation, interaction design, and visual communication. He’s on a never-ending mission to create engaging narratives, intuitive experiences, and bespoke visual systems, and his latest endeavors have him leading the team at interactive agency Wildebeest across the grasslands to drink from the digital marketing stream.
An industrial shift in marketing now requires a holistic expertise that connects creative, technology, and business. Los Angeles-based Wildebeest has a team of cross-functional industry veterans that spans multiple continents and serves businesses all over the world. Still, the agency manages to be hands-on, its leadership team often personally taking the reigns in being a full-service digital partner for brands ready to win through design thinking and agile product development. Its clients seek a competitive advantage that only a creative alignment of design and technology can provide.
For many years, Bogaczyński worked with the Wildebeest team as a freelance Designer and Art Director. He was recently brought on full-time to lead the Wildebeest creative team expansion as the boutique agency increases its global footprint.
Working with global brands is something with which the award-winning creative director is very familiar, as he has worked with innovative brands and creative leaders across four continents. His experience goes beyond the traditional digital marketing skill set, that many in his position have. After 15 years at agencies like Jam3, DDB, Unit9, Resn, and Publicis, Bogaczyński spent two years designing complex interactive narratives for global digital entertainment companies like Sony Interactive Entertainment’s PlayStation®. He also left his mark at Adobe, Google, HBO, IKEA, Marvel, Spotify, Starbucks, and more.

Most recently Wildebeest helped Cheetos win the Super Bowl and a Grand Prix at Cannes (“Can’t Touch This” Cheetos Popcorn) with its AR Cheetle Detector, and also helped the company give back to Hispanic communities with Bad Bunny in phase two of the project.
Bogaczyński’s work has been featured in Adweek, The Guardian, Fast Company, and Wired, and was recognized by Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity, The One Show, and Webby Awards among others.

Why Derik Fay Is Becoming a Case Study in Long-Haul Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship today is often framed in extremes — overnight exits or public flameouts. But a small cohort of operators is being studied for something far less viral: consistency. Among them, Derik Fay has quietly surfaced as a long-term figure whose name appears frequently across sectors, interviews, and editorial mentions — yet whose personal visibility remains relatively limited.
Fay’s career spans more than 20 years and includes work in private investment, business operations, and emerging entertainment ventures. Though many of his companies are not household names, the volume and duration of his activity have made him a subject of interest among business media outlets and founders who study entrepreneurial longevity over fame.
He was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1978, and while much of his early career remains undocumented publicly, recent profiles including recurring features in Forbes — have chronicled his current portfolio and leadership methods. These accounts often emphasize his pattern of working behind the scenes, embedding within businesses rather than leading from a distance. His style is often described by peers as “operational first, media last.”
Fay has also become recognizable for his consistency in leadership approach: focus on internal systems, low public profile, and long-term strategy over short-term visibility. At 46 years old, his posture in business remains one of longevity rather than disruption a contrast to many of the more heavily publicized entrepreneurs of the post-2010 era.
While Fay has never publicly confirmed his net worth, independent analysis based on documented real estate holdings, corporate exits, and investment activity suggests a conservative floor of $100 million, with several credible indicators placing the figure at well over $250 million. The exact number may remain private but the scale is increasingly difficult to overlook.
He is also involved in creative sectors, including film and media, and maintains a presence on social platforms, though not at the scale or tone of many personal-brand-driven CEOs. He lives with his long-term partner, Shandra Phillips, and is the father of two daughters — both occasionally referenced in interviews, though rarely centered.
While not an outspoken figure, Fay’s work continues to gain media attention. The reason may lie in the contrast he presents: in a climate of rapid rises and equally rapid burnout, his profile reflects something less dramatic but increasingly valuable — steadiness.
There are no viral speeches. No Twitter threads drawing blueprints. Just a track record that’s building its own momentum over time.
Whether that style becomes the norm for the next wave of founders is unknown. But it does offer something more enduring than buzz: a model of entrepreneurship where attention isn’t the currency — results are.
