Who is Artichoke Creative?

Founded in 2003, Artichoke Creative is a fully integrated agency, as comfortable with emerging technology as we are with traditional mediums. It's all about what works for our clients.

The agency is natural evolution of my 20 years of eclectic professional experience that has included national sales management, corporate marketing, agency side work, PR, freelance writing and event management.

Artichoke has worked with local and national brands who have realized the benefit of doing business with an agency that knows how to reach their audience in the most cost effective and creative manner possible.

Artichoke Creative is/are :

Passionate
We prefer to work with businesses where we feel a real connection with their product or service.
It just makes sense to do work that excites and motivates us. 

Your Marketing Department
We become an extension of your company, collaborating with you on strategy, creative, integration, and implementation of your marketing programs. We immerse ourselves in your products, then we’ll live and breath your brand, help you build your business, and celebrate
your success.

Sales & Marketing Gurus
You should be skeptical of any agency executive who has never held a sales position. Sales and marketing are not mutually exclusive. Previously, as a national sales manager, AC President David Boylan has been responsible for the bottom line, moving products, and motivating a sales team. This experience has proven invaluable in working with clients to define objectives and understanding the challenges they face to meet them. On the flip side, David is a very creative marketing guy. From concepts, copy and events to staying on top of traditional and emerging technologies…he can bridge the gap between client expectations and the creative staff. He demands an understanding of client objectives and their industry from his creative team.

Integrated
This can be an overused word in the marketing space and most agencies use it but don’t practice it. At Artichoke Creative integration is our mantra, new mediums excite us.  We keep our team up to speed on new technologies and how they can be combined with traditional mediums to help you sell more stuff.

Innovators
Our combination of creativity and  bottom line focused business experience give us a unique ability to create innovative, effective, targeted, integrated advertising campaigns and events. We also come up with non-traditional ways to promote brands like our own Artichoke Apparel.

Foodies
Our team is made up of gourmet cooks and food writers and our clients include growers, restaurants and food manufacturers. We live to eat and this translates into stellar creative for our food related clients.

Fashionistas
With our clothing line Artichoke Apparel, we have transferred our love of food and fashion into a viable clothing line. Fashion and advertising compliment each other and it’s a good thing
for your agency to have experience in both.
