Resource, revamp, and repurpose. That’s (probably) Alma’s mantra. She staffs every opportunity that comes through the agency and guarantees that we have top-notch resources to produce great work for our clients. When she closes her laptop for the day, you'll find her giving new life to vintage clothes and spending time with her two kiddos in the Windy City.
A passion for people is at the core of everything Carly does. She thrives on creating impactful solutions to exceed client goals and always gives a dose of the unexpected. Actually, that might be her middle name. She's a proud horse girl, a diehard college basketball fan, and a karaoke queen. Carly Unexpected Nealy—there’s a nice ring to it.
With Caroline as our captain of agency operations, we stay in tip-top shape. Her keen sense of organization not only keeps us afloat, it also comes in handy with her other favorite things: keeping up with her two kids and their busy sports schedules and maintaining her beautifully decorated home. With Caroline around, it’s always smooth sailing.
A Georgia peach, a fur baby mom, and a diehard advocate for our clients, Caroline does it all. And never misses a beat. When she's not managing the needs of clients, challenging the comfort zones of those around her, or pushing the creative work to perfection, she’s probably on her way to see Phish (she’s officially seen the band 100+ times). Go ahead and add “committed” to her list of accolades.

Cloudy days don’t bother us because we have a Drew.

When Drew’s around, everything is just better.
Hannah brings a lot to the table—she ensures project goals are exceeded, no details slip through the cracks, and long-lasting relationships are built with clients (and does it all with a sunny attitude). In her off hours, she’s either trying out a new recipe, catching up with friends over a happy hour, or grabbing a bite to eat (preferably sushi) often while exploring a new city.
When you have a down-to-earth, no-challenge-is-too-big attitude like Jacob’s, rallying teams and leading them to success is first-nature. Jacob's second-nature? Sarcasm, memes, Duke's mayonnaise, general debauchery, things of that sort. Status quo? Consider yourself extinct around Jacob.
This New-Yorker-turned-Nashvillian has a knack for witty words.

Karla describes her role as “pointing at things.” It’s how she works and a peek into how she thinks. With her trusty pup Cyrus by her side, Karla provides is the “why” so the team can create a better “what” now and tomorrow. Her obsession with future results might be part of her growth mindset—or her other obsession, speculative fiction (AKA sci-fi).
You’ll find Katie in the details—building thorough project plans, facilitating communication across teams, and problem-solving along the way to ensure projects are delivered on time and on budget. And when she's not keeping things on track, she’s tending to other details in her life: caring for her houseplants, finding thrift store gems, or cuddling with her orange tabby cat, Odie.

This New Orleans native keeps communication smooth within our walls and between our partners and clients—ensuring there’s no interruption in our business operations. He’s also the one who cuts all our paychecks. We like that part, too.
You know how sometimes you just want to take a look inside someone’s brain to see how they come up with their ideas? For us, that person is Matt Reed. A few of the cool things in his portfolio: creating an AI that supercharges brainstorming sessions, building a robot that finds Waldo in under 5 seconds, and doing monthly deep dives on new tech to share his knowledge with the rest of us.
Lights, Camera, Matt. That’s how we say it around here. He touches every stage of each print, photo, or video project we put into the world. He thinks of every detail and considers all possible roadblocks (ranging from probable to unlikely) before we sit down for the project kick-off meeting. Safe to say Matt puts the “pro” in production.
Nate wears a lot of strategic hats around our shop, whether he’s providing keen insights into why we humans do what we do, delving into the mindset of a new target audience, or building solid strategic foundations for a brand's next big thing.

Video shoots, print pieces, and every made-with-care thing in between, our sunny Floridian is the reason production projects come to life with ease.
Ryan is a collaborator at heart—a true fan of the team. When he's not cheering on the Titans, you'll find him designing a user-friendly experience, leading a team in a creative sprint, or simply studying how us humans interact with the world around us. Plus, he does it all with an eye for detail and sense of humor.
Know anyone who can draw ambidextrously? We do—Ryon, our Senior Art Director, can show you sketches created with both hands simultaneously. Or photos he captured on a drone. Or playlists that are perfectly curated. These varied creative strengths shine bright in his work. His passion for design ensures our creative is balanced and boldly original.
Whether our not-so-secret weapon, Samara, is making us think or making us laugh, she loves bringing people together. Especially when she’s connecting new clients with the teams in our shop that can get the job done. And when she’s not making problem-solving sparks fly, she’s tracking meaningful trends and insights, making sure we (and our clients) are always ready for the next big thing.

Pickle and Onion, please. No, those aren't burger toppings...they're Spencer's cats. Most days you’ll find them walking across his keyboard while he creatively brings an unconventional ideas to life. Other days, Spencer is holed away with what we can only assume is a magic wand, designing posters and prints to purrfection.
As our resident Technology Wizard, Sterling solves all of our technical woes like magic. In between ironing out glitches or setting up software that makes all the rest of our work run smoothly, he's usually sharing hilarious memes or random facts. To be honest, we're not totally sure where his knowledge ends—but if we're ever on a game show, we know which friend we're phoning.
How does playing pro soccer prepare you to lead an ad agency? Simple. Tim still values, above all else, the importance of good coaching and continued growth. As redpepper’s founder, he coaches our team to learn intentionally, coach each other in a way that fosters growth, and to never (ever) stop learning.
