Travis Cain is the Co-Founder and Creative Director at Brave World Media, a full-service creative agency specializing in social strategy and management, brand storytelling, design, web development, video production, and photography — with deep expertise in tourism and economic development marketing. Grounded in research and insight, they position brands to lead — sharpening their voice, elevating their presence, and driving measurable growth. Inclusive, equitable, and culturally fluent thinking isn't an add-on; it's embedded in everything they do.
Since launching in 2017, they've partnered with ambitious organizations — from destination marketing boards to regional economic development agencies — to close strategic gaps, clarify their narrative, and scale their visibility. The result: stronger brand recognition, sustained growth, and marketing ecosystems that authentically connect with both global and local audiences.
Travis has an impressive, award-winning branding and graphic design career that spans over 3 decades. He ran his own design studio for several years before moving to New York City to attend the School of Visual Arts where he earned an MFA in Design. During his career he has had the pleasure of working with clients such as: The Green Bay Packers, Sundance Channel, Penguin/Viking Books, MTV, Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, KidRobot, Trek Bicycles, Kiehl’s Since 1851, and Finger Lakes Wine Country. His work has been honored by The One Club, The Art Director’s Club, ID Magazine, Graphis, Communication Arts, PRINT, HOW and the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum.
Besides running a marketing agency, Travis and his wife have a mobile coffee business called Café Cómodo which keeps them busy! When not running 2 businesses, they love spending time with their 3 sons, 1 of which lives in Brooklyn and the other 2 currently attend SUNY schools here in upstate New York.
