The Creative Agency is a full-service marketing and advertising firm that works as an integrated external marketing department for growing brands. Our work brings strategy, brand identity, design, social media, email marketing, website development, photography, video and performance insights together under one roof. We serve clients across consumer, e-commerce, professional services, hospitality, entertainment, arts and B2B industries.
Our clients trust us to understand their businesses, protect their brands, recognize opportunities and create marketing that contributes to meaningful growth. The work must be thoughtful, current, visually strong and commercially useful.
This is a hands-on agency role for an experienced marketer who can take strategic direction and turn it into strong, timely and effective execution. You will plan campaigns, build content calendars, write copy, produce emails, manage Instagram communities, coordinate creative assets and use performance data to improve results.
We are looking for someone who understands what is changing across social media and email, why certain content performs and how to apply that knowledge without diluting the brand. You must be able to think critically, write well, manage competing priorities and take responsibility for the quality and performance of your accounts. You should recognize what needs to happen next without waiting to be told.
