Tom joins our Dubai team as a Strategist and resident Brit. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @tomhbird Just two days before my first day at the Middle Eastern outpost of Carrot Creative, I was completing my last day at my previous job. I was standing on the pit wall of Yas Marina Circuit in the UAE’s capital Abu Dhabi for the final round of the Maserati Trofeo Middle East. As the twelve Italian V8 thoroughbred race… Continue Reading

Next Chapter
Amy joins as a Strategist. Welcome her to the family with a friendly tweet: @amybenz I arrived in New York on a Sunday and started work with Carrot on a Monday. A bit over-ambitious in terms of jet-lag, but as I packed up my life in San Francisco, I just kept thinking about the line from When Harry Met Sally that “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of… Continue Reading

Episode IV: A New Home
Matt joins as a Media Planner. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @mattindellicati Things really do have a way of working themselves out – especially when you’d least expect it. I’d say it all started with a tweet from Mike. Well, technically it began with a near 20-year-old friendship with Neamo who has worked as a designer with Carrot Creative for the past 8 months. He tipped me off to a tweet his boss made about looking… Continue Reading

Matt joins us as Social Activation Manager in our Dubai office. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @meontap So the conversation went something like this: Me (to my dad): I have an opportunity to work for Carrot Creative, a Brooklyn-based social media agency that works with brands like Red Bull, Disney, Budweiser, NewsCorp, Jaguar and Ford and I think I’m going to take it. Dad: That sounds like a good opportunity. Moving to New York is a pretty big… Continue Reading

Carrying the Carrot Flag
Scott joins us as a Production Manager in our Dubai office. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @swells_ A little over two years ago, I flew to Austin, TX for my first trip to SXSW Interactive. After three full days of surrounding myself with the two things I’m most passionate about: learning and meeting new people, my brain swelled beyond capacity with new ideas and names. Needing to round things out, I went in search of a couple… Continue Reading

We the Best
Prior to joining Carrot, I spent a year and half working for a traditional ad agency in Manhattan. It was a valuable experience, but I wasn’t having a whole lot of fun and I began to feel restless. I was working on a pharmaceutical account for which we created TV and print ads exclusively. Social media wasn’t part of the equation. I became bored and began the tedious process of finding a new job. I interviewed at a number of… Continue Reading

Carrot’s Full of Love
It’s my Carrotversary! As a Producer, I have this thing where I’m really focused on deadlines and what everyone needs to contribute by a certain time in order to get things done and, oops, it’s a year later and I still haven’t written my Welcome post! Luckily, I’ve been given the opportunity to talk about how excited I am to join a company a year after I’ve already become deeply rooted with my second family. In all honesty, I did… Continue Reading

Family First
Did you say breakfast? It’s ok if you did, although the answer I was looking for was family. Back when I was still interviewing, I remember Chris telling me that most Carrots were not from New York City and thus, did not have any family members here. That is why, he said, it is important that Carrot Creative is a family. Since starting here, I have never doubted the absolute truth of this statement. My fellow Carrots quickly became my… Continue Reading

Pirate Astronauts
Lee joins the Carrot family as our newest developer. Welcome him to the family with some Twitter love: @the_gastropod We work in a world heavy with management, red tape, legal mumbo-jumbo, and an overall disdain for fun things. This landscape is perhaps the most rugged in the lands of technology companies. Carrot has abandoned this world. They’ve taken to space as a crew of self-proclaimed pirate astronauts. This is what I found most appealing about the prospect of working at… Continue Reading

Spread the joy with Instacheer!
The Carrot crew thought long and hard about what to do for the agency holiday card this year, and after many late nights of apple cider and holiday cookies it dawned on us — Instagram! We’re an agency full of frenzied Instagram users, so why not incorporate one of our favorite photo-taking-social-networks into our annual holiday card? And thus, Instacheer was born! Carrot designed and developed a website that pulls in holiday themed Instagram photos that fall in snowflakes over… Continue Reading
