Where we love to shine

Captain of Clever

The Out West logo, a mountain huckleberry against the moon, represents the moment of finding sweetness in the wilderness of a new venture.

Talia Filipek believes the best ideas usually start with a good conversation and a bit of curiosity, probably over a cup of hot cocoa. Equal parts creative thinker and catalyst, she's happiest sprinkling some sunshine on great stories and finding the absolutely perfect people to hear them.

She has a soft spot for businesses that are anchored in tradition, or conversely, offering something oh-so different. From family farms to large ranches, Main Street makers to artisan delights, she's drawn to the dreamers who pour themselves into what they create and never lose sight of authenticity.

Her favorite part of the job is meeting the hidden gems out in the sticks or far at sea. She loves to help folks who can describe the feeling they want people to have long before they can craft the perfect tagline. She’ll help them find stride in their story and build a brand that creates lasting connections within the hinterland. Utilizing a trusted network of industry partners with a blend of thoughtful strategies, she digs leveraging businesses to reach their utmost, highest-value presence.

Talia brings to the table over fifteen years of artistic, creative and marketing expertise both in education and work experience.

And selfishly, she’s in this job to try amazing food, meet neat people, and see pretty places.
