CRTE

Operating from Westlake Village in the Los Angeles area, CRTE combines a marketing agency with an appointment-only creative studio, working under one roof rather than as separate vendors. The agency describes serving businesses across Greater Los Angeles in hospitality and restaurants, food and beverage/CPG, eCommerce and DTC, health and wellness, professional services, luxury and aviation, home services and trades, and real estate. It positions itself around a small senior team, stating accounts are handled from scope through delivery without being passed to junior staff, and engagements are scoped monthly or by project rather than open-ended retainers. On the agency side, services cover technical, local, and franchise SEO, paid search, paid social, lifecycle email and SMS, and ongoing social media management, alongside brand identity systems, web design and development, copywriting, and personal branding for founder-led businesses. Strategy and consulting offerings include growth strategy, fractional CMO engagements, market research, analytics and reporting, and conversion rate optimization. Media and traditional services extend to programmatic buying, out-of-home advertising across Greater LA, public relations, reputation management, and affiliate partnerships. The in-house CRTE Studio handles photography and video production — including product, food, and lifestyle photography, brand films, and UGC/short-form content — produced on-site and then deployed by the agency team. The site notes a same-business-day, 24-hour reply window on inquiries and flat-rate content packages with full delivery of shot assets to the client.
