High Tide Creative

Operating as a virtual advertising agency from New Bern, North Carolina, High Tide Creative is a small team built around long-time advertising and marketing professionals who have worked in larger markets such as Atlanta, Charlotte and Minneapolis. This background allows the agency to draw on a roster of specialized talent brought in as projects require, rather than maintaining a large in-house staff. Clients working with the agency deal directly with its principals rather than junior staff. The agency states specialized experience in the tourism, medical, real estate and legal industries, alongside award-winning work in other categories. Services cover the full marketing and advertising process: strategic planning, brand and logo development, media planning and placement, website development, search engine optimization, social media marketing, digital advertising, video production and public relations. Under the umbrella categories of marketing strategy, media management, creative services, public relations, website development and social media marketing, the agency positions itself as a single point of contact handling both the strategic and creative sides of a campaign, from research and planning through to execution across digital and traditional channels. Its blog content touches on topics such as advertising on YouTube and building holiday marketing campaigns, reflecting a practical, campaign-oriented approach to client work. The agency also references recognition at industry awards for its creative output.
