The Martin Agency

Meet our Design Marty duo. They are wanted for their stunning conceptual designs and software execution. In visual development, building on brands, and multi-tasking on numerous projects, they’ve delivered strong conceptual ideas and even better designs. Here’s what they have to say: Jayme: “I’ve worked closely and collaborated with the best team to design various applications for companies like Papa Johns and GEICO. This collaborative work environment has taught me how valuable it is to be able to learn from others in order to grow!” Esther: “I’ve gained extensive hands-on design experience, both collaboratively and independently! It was a great opportunity to learn how the advertising industry and design work together.”

Martin Executive Creative Director Ashley Marshall revealed to Marketing Dive some of the hurdles that ultimately led to magic when creating UScellular's latest 360 campaign featuring Alanis Morissette. "An early script for the campaign featured 'Ironic' with its lyrics rewritten for UScellular's purposes, but as pre-production continued, that approach proved limiting and rewriting the song was taken off the table — a familiar roadblock in the creative process of an ad. 'What are we going to do now? Is the idea dead?' Marshall recalls thinking. 'The team went back, and undeterred, found this other approach in which Alanis makes all these observations, just speaking them.'"

Meet our Art Director Marty team, wanted for their exceptional visual flair this summer. From conceptualizing bold campaigns to delivering impeccable craftsmanship, they’ve transformed every project into a visually stunning narrative. Here’s what they have to say: Lindsey: “This summer was all about embracing the art of being bold and unapologetically honest - where the most shivering, empowering stories find their authenticity. Not only did we become storytellers, but also Martin gave us an opportunity to leave a lasting mark on every project.” Hazel: “I learned about Martin from a fedora-wearing man I met on the street 6 years ago, and it’s been a goal of mine to work here ever since. So this summer has basically been one huge *pinch me* moment, and I’m so thankful to everyone I’ve met here for making the Marty experience so special. 💖 ” Yul: “From a 360 campaign to a new biz pitch, Martin has given us young creatives real opportunities to not just learn and grow, but to make our voices heard and be seen. No regrets kickstarting my ad career here at Martin.”

Sometimes the best way to appreciate how something should be is to see how it absolutely shouldn’t be. To bring this to the (After)life, CarMax partnered with the new film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice to see how a used car dealership would be run by Beetlejuice himself. Introducing BeetleMax: The way car buying shouldn’t be. See Beetlejuice Beetlejuice only in theaters September 6th!
