Raise the bar high enough that you can go under it.

Audrey
Collaboration Aficionado

Is there such a thing as ambidextrous-brained? Because I enjoy creative problem solving and making data-driven decisions. I’m of the mindset that there is always a solution, and I promise to work with you until we find it. When I’m not working, I’m most likely updating my 100-year-old Baltimore row home or scouting for vintage treasures at flea markets or auctions.

Bee
Potato Connoisseur

When I’m not stuffing my face with French fries or baked potatoes, I’m attempting to make clients’ visual dreams come true. From digital to print to interactive, you can find me behind the scenes creating and Art Directing (and eating potatoes).

My thinking face is my worried face and my worried face is my thinking face. Don’t let it fool you – I’m actually just deciding which plane ticket I’m gonna buy at happy hour.

Brenda

From New York to Paris, São Paulo to Sydney… the WORLD is my oyster. My clients are the pearls, and I treat them like the priceless gems they are. I fashion marketing plans that devour the competition with a slurp and a little mignonette. Bon appétit!

Telling a story is one thing, but crafting and casting the story around for everyone to connect to, now that’s some real magic.

Enter Invoices? Order Drinks? Sending that annoying email everyday to enter your time? I’m your girl!

Ms. Purrblicity

I like puzzles, and I see getting clients’ press coverage as just that! No matter the story, I’m here to put the puzzle together from start to finish. Oh, and I’m a cat lady. I’ve even gone so far as to get my cat, Portia, featured in The New York Times.

Data-driven storyteller, with an absolute love for simplifying complex, time-consuming processes. I live by the KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) principle, with the goal to make everyone ?

David
Walkin' Talkin' Spellcheck

I check to ensure everything is said in precisely the right way. Then I double check. And then I triple check. That’s gotta be like, a couple hundred checks, right?

Daysi
Wanderlust Enthusiast

Planit’s local travel junkie! I’ve been to 20+ countries and am always looking to add to my list. When I’m not slinging highlighters and building to-do lists, you can catch me planning my next trip or finding a restaurant with my favorite international cuisine. Travel tips? I’m your girl!

If you need research, I’m your girl! I’ll pour endlessly over the Internet until I find just what you’re looking for, then somehow condense pages of notes into the cutest summary ever.

I create and break things online…some days I break more than I create.

Gabe
Galen
The AV Guy

Planit is the kind of agency where you can “choose your own adventure” as a creative, and I think this is why we are such a good match—I’m not very good at “routine.” Being able to jump around from web design, animation, video, and photography really helps me keep the work fresh and forces me to constantly evolve as a creative. Being surrounded by fun, talented people every day is just icing on the cake.

Hanna
Hannah

Isn’t graphic design the thing where you look at fonts for 3 hours straight to match a vibe?

My mission is to promote our client’s stories and obtain placements for them that target appropriate audiences. I once dreamed of being a professional athlete or a member of a boy band…then reality hit.

Iris
Numbers Nerd

If I’m not herding numbers, goats, or my child you can find me with a ticket stub in my hand.

Jack
Executive Director of Strategic Planning

I apologize. I just ate your low-hanging fruit and drank your Kool-Aid. I leveraged your synergies and funded your crowds. I led your thoughts, adopted you early, and hung out in your cloud. My long tail was wrapped all the way around your disruptive, holistic approach. Oh, and I broke your clutter. Sorry.

My articles.
Jennifer
The Queen of Bylines

Uncovering stories is my talent, telling them is my passion. Who you are, what you do, what you stand for, where you came from, where you’re going, or the road that got you there – you have endless stories waiting to be told. Let me dig them up. Oh and, I have a Diet Coke addiction.

Joe

Thanks for swiping right! My ideal partner – Knows how to VLOOKUP Turn On’s – International adventuring, battling ninjas, I used to have a keyboard with a button which did nothing except open the Windows calculator Turn Off’s – People who are discourteous, expense reports with no receipts attached, Flat-Earthers Favorite Movie – I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but “The Untouchables” because, when you really break it down, the accountant is the bad-ass hero who brings down Capone My Ideal Date – I like to crunch numbers on the beach, at the club, or at home in some sweatpants

You can always count on me to look at the positives in any situation! If I’m not out and about, I’m at home whipping up new recipes and getting overly excited about new kitchen gadgets. Who doesn’t love an air fryer?!

Chief Financial Officer

Not all accountants wear pocket protectors and carry calculators. I love an opportunity to bring the numbers to life to tell a story. The numbers are the numbers and they have a lot to say sometimes.

Kati
Content Calendar Maven

You got content? I’ve got a bucket for it. I’ll plan out your social content months in advanced—one spreadsheet at a time, while simultaneous listening to Taylor Swift.

I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100%…that girl with multiple lists, highlighters, Excel spreadsheets, and coffee. Lots of coffee. I’m committed to helping our clients meet their business objectives with authentic, creative, and smart strategies. Fun fact: I once tore the ligaments in my ankle breakdancing to Jock Jams.

Madelynn

The only thing I love more than sharing Instagram stories of my dogs is building your brand through targeted social strategy and effective media coverage. Let’s get likes!

Matt

“I’ve seen a lot of great things come out of St. Louis. Toasted ravioli, pork steaks, Provel® cheese. But aside from me and Nelly, the hardest working, smartest, nicest, most innovative person to come out of St. Louis is Matt Ryan. Baltimore, you’re lucky to have him. I know because I’m Jon Hamm.” – Jon Hamm

Uno Master

Cat person by day, and also by night.

Melissa
The Gatekeeper

Master organizer, keeper of facts, and wizard of all things detailed. And yes, these are my sassy pants!

Nicole
HR Generalist

Data detective. Human advocate.

Noah
Nutz

The name’s Nutz. We’ll give you two (big) guesses why. You’ll usually find him squirrelling around the kitchen or ferreting out the last double espresso IPA from wayyyyy in the back of the beer fridge. With a smile on his face and a copy of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” tucked under his adorable little arm.

Oscar

No ifs, ands, or putts.

Rebecca
Visually Vertical

Renae
Senior Art Director

The organized chaos of my brain is a lethal combo of big picture prowess and sweating the tiniest details. You can find me generating creative ideas that push way past client expectations, finessing the perfect kerning, and forever correcting the use of hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes.

Rich

Coming soon…

Ryan
Group Strategy Director

I think it was Dumbledore who first spoke of me. He wrote, “a pseudo-man would be delivered to this Planit to practice the dark arts of consumer persuasion and shape shift user behaviors garnering for his contemporaries the stacks of cheddar they seek. You’re a wizard, Ryan.”
