Founder & Executive Producer
Leah Harper-Lane is the Founder of Strong Brew, an independent production agency specializing in large-scale live experiences. With roots in globally televised events, she has built Strong Brew into a premier partner for media, technology, and corporate brands seeking the scale and complexity of tentpole events & immersive experiences.
After years as a production consultant stabilizing high-stakes projects, Leah founded Strong Brew to offer selective, expert production leadership for complex events.
Leah’s love for the roar of the crowd began early, as a nationally ranked high school and Division One athlete, leading to an NBC Sports internship at the Sydney Olympics. She rose through CBS Sports, Viacom, Imagination, and Showtime, producing tentpole events including the VMAs, Hip Hop Honors, Inside the NFL, the Oscars, and the Super Bowl.
Her work has earned two Guinness World Records, an Emmy win, and a second Emmy nomination.
Strong Brew operates on clear grounding principles: work with people they love, for clients they respect, on projects that challenge them.
