Advance Creative is led by a pair of career entrepreneurs with experience working with venture-backed startups like Spigit and Mindjet, corporations like GENBAND, AT&T, CenturyLink, and Nlyte, as well as national brands like Honda, Toyota, PepsiCo, and Virgin.

Our clients and partners hire us to create streams of amazing video marketing content. The name Advance comes from our mission to continually push the creative envelope and as a result – help to push our clients towards successful outcomes. We do so using some of the following core values:

  • Go All In

    We seize every opportunity to be better than we were yesterday. We constantly find new ways to solve problems and leverage new creative techniques.

  • Invest In Your Success

    We want to act as an extension of your brand and team, with the ability to speak in your unique voice, fulfill your vision, and surpass your expectations.

  • Commit to Quality

    We continually try to raise the bar by adhering to strict quality standards. Nothing goes out the door until we’re satisfied that it’s something we’re proud of, so we know you will be too.

  • Be A Positive Influence

    We use our canvas to help others view the beauty of the world through a unique and positive lens.
