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

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
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 or Bust
Sunny Eckerle joins Carrot as our newest Design Intern. Give her a warm welcome: @SunnyEckerle There exists a list, now packed away somewhere deep in a box at the back of a closet, covered in dust and probably cat hair, that I created back in May. On that list is every job and internship I applied to when I graduated college many moons ago (aka 3 months). It’s numbered, it’s dated, some jobs are highlighted, others are crossed out. The final… Continue Reading

Carrot is People
Bob Whitney joins the Carrot family as our newest developer. Welcome him with some Twitter love: @withloudhands. It’s January and I am standing in a DUMBO warehouse space talking to a tall, curly haired guy I’ve just met. His name is Christopher Petescia and he is a partner in a Social Media Agency called Carrot Creative. He is describing to me a little bit about his company, and I am finding it hard to believe. For starters because, unlike most… Continue Reading
