About

Legendary brands built here—by extraordinary people.

We're more than a collection of mad strategy geniuses, data deep-divers, creative virtuosos and project management masterminds. Put it all together and we're a "whole that's much greater than the sum of its parts." (Thank you, Aristotle.)

We're L7 Creative, and our success in helping you achieve yours is based on our core beliefs: —

It's cool to be Square
There is a science to the art of branding
Properly arranged, those digital ones and zeroes can make millions
What your brand does is only as relevant as how it makes people feel
Consumers want to be sold, like to be convinced, and love to believe
Audacity is a skill set
Building a great brand calls for bravery

Philosophy

Talent Gets You Started. Culture Keeps You Going.

The defining feature and source of success for great companies in any industry isn’t their products or services—it’s their culture. We’ve taken that business truism to heart at L7 Creative. You won’t find egos, silos or turf wars here. And the corporate ladder’s been broken down into firewood and we’re making s’mores over it.

At L7 Creative, you’ll connect with extremely talented people who genuinely enjoy working with one another, who feel grateful to have such fantastic clients, and who celebrate every win as a team win.

Teamwork Works

Yeah, it sounds a little cliché, but it’s true: Loners are no match for collaborators. We get plenty of input and look at business challenges from many perspectives before we make any decision about marketing strategy, creative direction or any activities for our clients. No wise decision has ever been made in a vacuum.

Process Eats Inspiration’s Lunch

Businesses that hang their hopes on getting a flash of marketing inspiration—internally or from their agency partner—typically aren’t in business for long. Sure, occasionally a great idea becomes a great marketing initiative. But you can always bank on our proven process leading to branding, strategy, collateral and campaigns that deliver robust and consistent returns.

Honesty and Integrity Matter

The common denominator between successful client/agency relationships and profitable client/consumer relationships? Trust. Being transparent with you is fundamental to helping you connect with your audience in the same way. If we think what you’re doing currently isn’t working, we’ll tell you. If you feel we’ve missed the mark on something, we want to hear about it. Marketing’s a continual, iterative process that works best when everyone involved lets their guard down and feels comfortable putting their ideas forward.
