Jeff McBride
Founder & Creative Director
Jeff is the creative lead and founder of Carousel. With over 15 years of experience making graphics move, an integrated understanding of the spinning complexity of the industry, and the creation of multiple companies—Jeff is a wizard at putting things into motion.
Jeff founded Carousel in October 2019 and relocated with his family to North Carolina. He likes kite boarding in the Outer Banks, using his vast array of power tools and traveling with his family.
He’s worked on projects with top brands including Marvel, Bic, Capital One, United, Jeep, YouTube, Dove Chocolate, and USPS; collaborated with studios like The Mill, Sarofsky, Flavor, Optimus and enhanced the ideas and work of advertising agencies such as FCB, BBDO, Leo Burnett, and Abelson-Taylor.
Danny Holladay
Producer
Danny is the kung-fu of Carousel. He brings the steady hands of organization and number crunching, the growth mindset of problem-solving and process, the presence of listening, the high-kicks of question asking and the heartbeat of relationship building.
He’s worked in a variety of sectors and spaces wearing all kinds of hats. He’s helped a financial start-up get off the ground, partnered in building a catering company, gathered client data for a tech company, run a creative art space, worked in the roles of director and administrator for schools, hotels and churches, taught Kindergarten, and of course, made pizza and washed dishes.
Danny loves to learn all about new things, ride his bike, write in his journal and be with his family.
