Carrot isn’t ashamed to admit that yes from time to time we are turned down by clients. We aren’t an agency full of salespeople so we rely solely on our creative minds and genuine nature to win big business. We pride ourselves on being humble. Sure, WE know we’re freaking awesome but sometimes is takes time for YOU (the client) to realize that. Recently at a client pitch where “team biz;” (@jpbrunelle, @katykelley, @mopostal, @mikegermano and @kaitvillanova) pitched a boatload… Continue Reading

With an office in Brooklyn, and clients all over the place we have had many instances where a Zipcar rental came to the rescue. Our favorite use was for a recent visit to our most colorful client, Crayola. For this trip,… Continue Reading

It read like a textbook case of plug and play advertising, taking a circle peg from the past and trying to… Continue Reading
