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

All Carrot Everything
Sean joins us as a Community Manager. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @caniba At the risk of putting myself in an awkward situation if the singularity goes down and there’s ever a robot uprising, I’d like to go on record saying that I’m a passionate believer that technology should be used to better serve humanity and to positively affect the human experience. Whether it’s Facebook lending a hand in the overthrowing of a repressive regime or… Continue Reading

Making Moves
Kathryn joins us as a QA Analyst. Welcome her to the family with a friendly tweet: @kathrynfarwell I’ll let you in on a little secret: finding a job isn’t easy. Okay, so that’s not really a secret. But finding a job you really, really enjoy, especially right out of college, is difficult. I graduated in May with no job lined up, and while it was a little stressful, it didn’t really bother me. Sure it confused my friends and family who… Continue Reading

Carrot for a Change
Bonnie is Carrot’s newest member of the design team. Welcome her to the family with a friendly tweet: @bonnieharriman We all get comfortable with our lives, our jobs, our friends. We know what we like, and we know what we don’t. We get to a point where we feel established, accepted, and successful. And because of this, change is scary. I reached this point in my life two months ago. I lived in Boston, had five years of work experience under… Continue Reading

Movember is here! Beards be gone!
Our favorite time of year is finally here. No, it’s not the recently passed Halloween, or the now ubiquitous Starbucks Holiday Cups. Rather, it is the event in which men with clean shaven cheeks pop up all over the city. Yes friends, moustache season (aka Movember) is here. Carrot Creative is participating in the month-long-moustache-growing-charity-event to help raise money for the fight against prostate cancer. Below are the before and after shots of our fine gentlemen. And please don’t forget… Continue Reading

Join the Carrot Family!
While my favorite thing about Carrot is the people and being small enough to know everyone’s favorite food (note to self: pick up peanut butter filled pretzels for Dan), it’s still exciting that we’re large enough to offer great benefits that rival any New York agency. We’re still working on that free cafeteria, but we do have medical, dental and vision insurance plans. We prefer that our team members spend their time worrying about how awesome the work they’re creating… Continue Reading

F8: What’s Launching
We’re here in force at F8 and jazzed about the platform changes in store at Facebook, some of which we’ve been honored to build with via our work on the The Daily Facebook app. We will be following up to this post soon, with our additional thoughts on what this means for users, brands and what will surely be a leap in the evolution of how we share, experience and archive our daily lives. Announced today: Timeline: The story… Continue Reading
