Nineteen years of agency experience behind us and we still thrive on collaboration, and excelling as a team. We still see each and every client relationship as a long-term creative partnership, never a business exchange. And as busy as we get, we still treat every client as a priority—because that’s precisely what they are.
David Smith, our President and founder, started Envision Creative at an imperfect time. It was 2001 and the market was unsteady, but he recognized the need for a different kind of agency in Austin. He envisioned one that blurred the lines between deliberate strategy and genius creative, one where great ideas were always backed by tangible goals and based on strategy rather than conjecture. Having spent 9 years as marketing director for a financial tech company, David aimed to bring his firsthand experience of the client side to the agency side with a heavy focus on strategy before tactics. Which led to the creation of our unique & proprietary 5 | E approach to respositioning businesses to achieve their objectives.
Our 5 | E Repositioning Formula™ combined with our critical client-side perspective informs everything we do. As an ever-growing team of talented designers, developers, digital marketers, and copywriters, we have a shared investment in the success of our clients. Whether it’s a local business or a global company, the quality of our work is what puts dinner on individual tables—or doesn’t. More than winning awards, we’re driven by the satisfaction that comes with making a difference for our clients, (but we’ve won plenty of awards too).
We may not know how to make and distribute Texas’ favorite beef dinners or run one of the world’s biggest hotel chains, but we do know how to strategize and identify the needs of our clients while leveraging the vast expertise of our team. We create strategies and execute on them to get you in front of your ideal target audience as quickly and efficiently as possible. It’s our job and we take it very seriously.
Core Values
These are the values that we live by, how we hire, and how we measure our success. When you work with Envision Creative, as a team member or a client, you can count on the fact that the people we are, the things we do, and the way we work with others are based on these core values.
CARING
We are truly dedicated to in the success of our clients and our team, and that comes out in everything that we create and the relationships we form. We care about the client experience and are always focused on improving ourselves for the betterment of ourselves, our clients, and Envision.
COMMITTED
We as Envisionaries are committed to creating, exploring, learning, and sharing. We are committed to our clients, each other, and to continuing our legacy of excellence well into the future. Our commitment to excellence demands that we’re always busy learning more, and doing more, – and never being ones to merely “set it and forget it”.
ENTHUSIASTIC
Our enthusiasm for our work goes beyond office hours. We learn, we share, we discuss, and we grow our passion for design, marketing, and success through repositioning with every passing day. Our enthusiasm is what takes our work to the next level and keeps Envision, (and our clients) ahead of the pack.
PASSIONATE
Our passion for our clients and for our fellow team members transcends everything we do. We know there’s always something new to learn… a new emerging platform, a change in SEO standards, or new trends to discover. This is why we’re always going above and beyond by searching, learning and sharing–so we can bring new ideas to our clients that lead to greater continued success.
