At Holden Ellis, creativity isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. We see creativity as a spark that ignites curiosity, fuels discovery, and propels progress. It’s the catalyst that transforms bold ideas into meaningful connections and drives us to craft stories that matter.
As an independent creative agency, we specialize in connecting brands to people through mighty stories masterfully told. From healthcare and financial services to startups and tech, we’re champions of market differentiation, helping our clients stand out in a crowded landscape. Our most successful projects don’t just align strategy and creative with vision—they align with our values: Bold Ideas, Relentless Execution, Universal Gratitude, and Care More.
Our approach is rooted in these principles. Bold Ideas challenge conventions and lead to fearless, original work. Relentless Execution ensures that we deliver results with precision and passion. Universal Gratitude shapes how we engage with clients, each other, and the world, while Care More drives our commitment to making a difference. Whether we’re creating impactful campaigns for Fortune 10 clients like McKesson and other market-leading healthcare companies, to first of it's kind mobile apps, or volunteering to support local community needs, we bring these values to every project and every relationship.
Visually, our work is as vibrant and dynamic as our ideas. Our designs thrive on color, texture, and contrast, delivering creative that’s unapologetically bold and thoughtfully balanced. We embrace curiosity as the driving force behind everything we create, believing that curiosity leads to discovery, and discovery leads to progress.
We’re proud to partner with brands to help them tell their stories in ways that resonate and inspire. But more than that, we’re proud to work with clients who share our belief that creativity isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about making an impact.
At Holden Ellis, we’re not just creating; we’re connecting. And for those who share our vision and values, we’re ready to create something extraordinary—together.
