VP, ACCOUNT SERVICE
Zach Cochran
VP, MEDIA
Zach is a media expert, number cruncher and die-hard baseball fan. He brings an incredible knack for finding innovative ways to study consumer insights, measure data, track results, report findings and develop impactful media plans that support clients’ initiatives while staying within budget: treating client dollars as if they were his own. He has worked on some of the biggest brands in the country including Proctor & Gamble, M&M Mars, Heineken, UBS, GlaxoSmithKline and Lindt Chocolates.
When Zach isn’t driving awareness and acquisitions for our clients, he is an active “Big” with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas, providing a sense of stability to a child in need of a reliable mentor and advocate. In return, he gets one more person to throw a baseball with.
Bethany Cranfield
VP, GROWTH
Bethany’s mantra is: “Health breeds growth.” When we pursue health, growth is the byproduct that follows. She’s passionate about helping leaders and businesses achieve scalable and sustainable growth by prioritizing healthy disciplines. With this approach, Bethany is building Door No. 3’s business development program to achieve Door No. 3’s growth ambitions. She’s focused on making new relationships for the agency and building a virtual and in-person community of tenacious marketing leaders.
Her career began as a foster care and adoption caseworker. While the shape of her work has evolved significantly, her magic has always been to listen loudly to a client’s presenting challenges and make an actionable plan. Now at Door No. 3, she turns that plan into an airtight proposal for clients like you.
When Bethany isn’t connecting with prospective clients, she’s likely gallivanting across the PNW in her renovated RV with her husband and three young kids.

OUR VALUES
We help our clients achieve the impossible by delivering the unexpected. We solve the problems they’ve identified and the ones they haven’t. Creative isn’t a department – it’s a mindset.
– Begin with the end in mind.
– Create solutions, not ads.
– Embody resourcefulness.
– Delight.
We know a lasting legacy is not rooted in the awards or accounts we win, but in the impact we have on each other, our clients, our partners, and our community.
– Bring your true self to work.
– Work smarter, not longer.
– Pay it upward and onward.
– Stay grateful.
We operate in a constantly evolving, trust-based environment where micromanagement is not an option. The only wrong action to take is inaction.
– Punch above your weight.
– Find beauty in constraints.
– Collaborate freely.
– Do it today, not tomorrow.
We do unto others what we would want them to do to us. That means investing in people and partnerships and offering help at every turn.
– Cultivate relationships.
– Practice radical candor.
– Celebrate wins.
– Don’t be an a**hole.
We are FPO, always evolving, always getting better. Becoming the best means never befriending complacency.
– Identify blind spots.
– Fail forward.
– Seek progress, not perfection.
– Always be learning.
GIVING BACK
We are a fortunate bunch. Business is good and we get to live and play in one of the best cities in the world. We’re never too busy to feed our souls. We always want to be doing something large or small, public or private, to help others.
GIVING BACK
From our brand work for the Austin Humane Society to our campaigns for Habitat for Humanity, we have a long legacy of donating our time and talents to help improve our greater community.
To support Foster Angels of Central Texas, we created the Austin Skipfest. This annual event takes place at Mueller Lake Park and raises funds (and knees!), directly benefiting more than 3,500 children in the Central Texas foster care system. We also support the organization during the holidays by purchasing gifts for foster children whose wish list would otherwise go unfulfilled.
In addition to team outings and initiatives, our staffers are directly involved with local non-profits, serving to make an impact on causes that mean the most to them. Whether it’s serving as a “Big” for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas or working as an active board member for a local 501(c), our team is passionate about making an impact on those around us.
