For founders building something people want to be part of.
Creative Marketing Agency Based in la
Creative Ave exists for the brands that are still becoming.
We work with founders who have a real product and real ambition and need a creative partner to build the world around it. Not a vendor who posts. A partner who helps decide what the brand stands for, what the campaign is, what the room feels like, and how all of it connects.
Our promise is alignment, not perfection. Every post has a job. The first post someone saves, the email they open, the ad they see three weeks later, and the room they walk into should all feel like the same company. Most agencies optimize one channel and leave the rest of the journey fragmented. That gap is the whole reason we exist.
From social media agency to full-service creative marketing partner
Creative Ave evolved because our clients did.
Content still matters, it just works better when it is connected to something bigger.
Today, we build the full brand world around emerging companies, connecting strategy, creative direction, content and campaigns into one cohesive marketing ecosystem.
Creative Ave started with a love for social media, storytelling and helping brands show up online with
We believed most brands didn't need more content for the sake of more content — they needed a clearer point of view. And while that is still true, we quickly realized social media was only one piece of the bigger picture.
Our clients needed more than posts. They needed launch strategy, campaign shoots, email marketing, ad creative, website assets, creator partnerships and real-life brand moments that could support the full customer journey.

I've spent the last 12+ years in marketing, and somewhere along the way, I realized my favorite part isn't actually the marketing itself — it's the people, the stories, and turning someone's wildest ideas into something the world gets to experience. As the founder of Creative Ave, I like to think my superpower is seeing the bigger picture, connecting dots that don't seem to belong together, and dreaming up ideas that make people feel something. I think great marketing is a lot like a great conversation, you have to know who you're talking to, have a little personality, and leave them wanting more.

My first job out of college happened to be my dream one! I joined Ali as her first hire in January of 2024, and what a ride it’s been! I’ve traveled across the country creating content for incredible brands, founders, and businesses, and through it, I found a passion for experiential and founder-led brands. Through more organizational skills and type-A nature, I became the Operations & Client Success Lead, where I get to chat with clients every day, and creating relationships with them is truly one of the best parts of my job.

Not everyone can say they found their dream job but I truly have here at Creative Ave. I started out as a social media manager and came to find my true passion in creative directing and strategizing what goes out on socials for our clients. I have found my bread and butter which would be the CPG space. Every day is so different and I have got to experience the world and meet some badass people working at Creative Ave!

One of my creative superpowers is my ability to find beauty in the mundane (aka romanticizing life)! I see the beauty in everyday moments and turn something ordinary into something that makes someone stop and notice. I love seeing what others notice and choose to share. It's so fun to me that two people can experience the exact same thing and see it completely differently! I think that same positive mindset is what makes my approach to work unique. I love what I do, I love this team/company, and I think that shows in both my work and the energy I bring to those around me.

I always knew I wanted to work in a creative field, but Creative Ave took that passion to another level. I am the Analytics Lead and a Social Media Coordinator; I love to whip up ideas and dig into what makes them work. My favorite thing about marketing is taking a brand beyond what it sells and creating a whole world around it, one that people can connect with, immerse themselves in, and want to be a part of. My superpower would be connecting the creative and strategic puzzle pieces, and then letting the numbers tell the story.

I bring a unique combination of innovative creativity and an obsession with organization to my work. I'm quick on my feet, solution oriented, and even a little spicy at times... ;) My background in Dance and Fine Arts fuels my passion for creation, visual aesthetics, and human connection in my work. If you need a vibe curated... and an overly detailed step-by-step plan of how to get there, I'm your girl!

After realizing corporate life wasn't the direction for me post-grad, I saw an opening for my dream role, not knowing this dream would become a reality! I joined earlier this year as a Social Media Coordinator. I bring strong skills in creative problem-solving and generating fresh, innovative ideas for our clients. I have always been drawn to the creative freedom in social media and the opportunities we have to learn from different industries. I have experience on the creator side on my personal pages that I think has hooked me in this role, especially when it comes to thinking like a brand marketer and what consumers want.

I mean it when I say I’m at my dream job! My creative superpower is finding the right strategy for each client. I love diving into analytics, understanding what makes a brand unique, and finding creative ways to bring its personality to life. I believe the best marketing feels authentic, intentional, and true to the people behind the brand. No two days at CA look the same, and that’s what I love most!

My creative superpower is turning the little things I learn about a client, their personality, and their vision into creative ideas. I love building relationships, getting to know the people behind the brands, and finding inspiration in the little details. I’m a big believer that great marketing is equal parts creativity, strategy, and genuine connection. I’m also a big fan of checking things off my to-do list and love bringing a little organization to all the creativity!

Marketing should feel like a place, not a channel.
We believe in real-life connection in a digital-first world. We believe social media is often the first layer of discovery, but never the whole strategy. Every post should have a purpose, every touchpoint should feel connected, and a brand should still feel clear after someone clicks away from your profile. We believe the best creative ideas are backed by strategic thinking, and that real rooms matter more, not less, in an AI-heavy world. IRL creates the feeling — the ecosystem carries it farther. And above all, we believe founders deserve a creative partner who can see the full picture, not just the next post.
