ELEVATING
brands that matter.
You’ve built the foundation of a brand that’s ready to make waves…with the right strategy, of course. We’re here to elevate and amplify it in the digital space to grow both your business and its impact.
We’re not your average agency.
-
We don’t pretend to be jacks of all trades around here. You can trust that anyone involved in your marketing efforts is experienced and highly knowledgable about their craft. We recognize our individual strengths and harness them to deliver high-quality results.
-
Most agencies say this, but do they really mean it? In our experience…not so much.
Your marketing strategy should evolve over time through brainstorming, testing, measuring, tweaking, and repeating.
That’s why we dive deep into your analytics every month, share our key findings to keep you in the loop, and apply those takeaways to provide ever-improving results.
-
The online space is anything but stagnant, so it takes being acutely plugged into the current atmosphere to see real results. Between algorithms, trends, and consumer behavior, it’s a landscape that can change overnight.
We stay tapped into these changes and adapt our strategies quickly, which gives our clients an edge that most businesses simply don’t have.
-
Imagine signing with a marketing agency and then finding yourself holding their hand through Sustainable Business 101. We’ll pass on that headache.
You don’t have to explain how your business is different, because your ‘why’ is ours, too. We’re well aware that your business operations are kind of a big deal.
In our experience, that connection point tends to pave the way for incredibly powerful partnerships
-
This is where our client relationships get real…in the best way! For us, this is bigger than a business transaction. It's a partnership aimed at creating a better world together. That’s beyond cool if you ask us.
As a result, everything we do is infused with an extra dose of passion and intention.
AT OUR CORE…
-
Respect
A cornerstone of sustainability, as it is for us. Respect for people in knowing that all are equal in value and worthy of consideration. And respect for our planet and its ecosystems. Our foundation is built here.
-
Empathy
The value that inspired OEC's creation, as we believe it to be a crucial, and often lacking, element of a thriving humanity. It paves the way for better business practices, relationships, and collective reflection.
-
Education
Many of us begin our sustainability journey by learning information that we then simply cannot look away from. There's a lightbulb moment. Creating those moments for others is the path to invoking change.
-
Connection
A necessary component for well-being, as well as creating a future that serves all people. Because, truly, we’re all connected at a soul level. Not to mention, we're all sharing the same giant space rock.
BEHIND THE BRAND
Hey there, I’m Jensen.
Resident treehugger and Founder of Opal Earth Creative.
I’m thrilled to have you here! Most days, you’ll find me over-caffeinated via black coffee in my Chicago apartment while leading content strategy for some seriously cool brands.
After graduating from Clemson University, I found myself feeling uninspired in a post-grad marketing job. I realized that my heart of hearts wanted to work with brands that care...brands that matter. Not only about environmental responsibility but also about the hands behind everything we have the luxury of purchasing. Slowly but surely, I started dreaming up Opal Earth Creative.
I have a feeling the need to engage in meaningful work may be one we have in common…just a guess, though!
Ironically, my sister told me at age seventeen that I should consider a career in marketing, to which I scoffed. Clearly, there was a pretty hard circle-back years later. Life lesson: never say never.
When I’m not in marketing strategy mode, there’s nothing I love more than a full-bodied cab, takeout sushi (don’t knock this duo ‘til you try it), and a night in. Although my comfort show toggles between New Girl and Queer Eye, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a true crime documentary that I haven’t seen.
*Queue me sleeping with every light on while home alone.*
When venturing outside, I’m typically moving through a vinyasa flow on the lakefront, spending time with my favorite people, or scouring local thrift stores for additions to my borderline-impractical and ever-growing mug collection. We all have our vices, okay?
My inbox is always open to connect or vent about capitalism-induced climate inaction. Only half-joking!
