An Englishman (Not) In New YorkTom joins our Dubai team as a Strategist and resident Brit. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @tomhbird Just two days before my first day at the Middle Eastern outpost of Carrot Creative, I was completing my last day at my previous job. I was standing on the pit wall of Yas Marina Circuit in the UAE’s capital Abu Dhabi for the final round of the Maserati Trofeo Middle East. As the twelve Italian V8 thoroughbred race...

Next ChapterAmy joins as a Strategist. Welcome her to the family with a friendly tweet: @amybenz I arrived in New York on a Sunday and started work with Carrot on a Monday. A bit over-ambitious in terms of jet-lag, but as I packed up my life in San Francisco, I just kept thinking about the line from When Harry Met Sally that “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of...

Episode IV: A New HomeMatt joins as a Media Planner. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @mattindellicati Things really do have a way of working themselves out – especially when you’d least expect it. I’d say it all started with a tweet from Mike. Well, technically it began with a near 20-year-old friendship with Neamo who has worked as a designer with Carrot Creative for the past 8 months. He tipped me off to a tweet his boss made about looking... Continue Reading |

7,810 MilesMatt joins us as Social Activation Manager in our Dubai office. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @meontap So the conversation went something like this: Me (to my dad): I have an opportunity to work for Carrot Creative, a Brooklyn-based social media agency that works with brands like Red Bull, Disney, Budweiser, NewsCorp, Jaguar and Ford and I think I’m going to take it. Dad: That sounds like a good opportunity. Moving to New York is a pretty big... Continue Reading |
Carrying the Carrot FlagScott joins us as a Production Manager in our Dubai office. Welcome him to the family with a friendly tweet: @swells_ A little over two years ago, I flew to Austin, TX for my first trip to SXSW Interactive. After three full days of surrounding myself with the two things I’m most passionate about: learning and meeting new people, my brain swelled beyond capacity with new ideas and names. Needing to round things out, I went in search of a couple... Continue Reading |
SXSW N00b Lesson #1I think it was @Dens who said it first. The theme of SXSW is A-B-C. No, not that A-B-C but “Always Be Charging.” Seriously with 20,000 people tugging the heartstrings and the bandwidth of At&T’s 3G it is SO necessary to find a charge anywhere you could. I was doing just that, more specifically, at the Zya Music Party with Nick Cannon spinning behind me. There I was catching up with some friends from PepsiCo when I realized I was...

Yup, it’s true: Carrot.is/hiringIt’s a scientific fact that Carrot Creative is the best and most badass company…ever. How did we become so amazing? Very carefully (seriously). Every person at Carrot has been vetted, interviewed, stalked, and hazed very carefully to ensure that they are the best of the best. And honestly, the Carrots are the most important part of the company. The Carrot office is known for producing brilliant work all while having fun doing it. That’s why we need to find candidates...

SXSW: It’s what you make of it.Thoughts on a good time in Texas from an almost-seasoned SXSW goer. SXSW has come a long way since its humble beginnings. My music business friends have been going since the early days, and the veterans among them tell me about the times of a twenty band music festival. Today the festival is part interactive, part film and all music, pulling hundreds of thousands of people to the epicenter of cool in the Texas capital city. I’ve gone to SXSW... Continue Reading |
