Circa is one of my go-to agencies because they think like a cooler version of me. They get the concept straight away and are able to visualize it in ways that really hit the audience right where it counts.

Andrew Parsons, Microsoft

"I personally really appreciated their data driven approach to developing Creative and the way in which they developed truly breakthrough creative with every agency's favorite constraints (ha ha): short window of time + minimal budget."

Monica Cravotta, WP EngineVP for Corporate Marketing

Circa has the most strategic creatives I have ever worked with.

Cheryl Ricketts, DreamBox Learning

I found them to be pleasant, professional, creative, and diligent throughout all of their work.
Their persistence struck the perfect balance between being proactive and not being too much for us to handle, which we really appreciated.

Vickie Sherman, Mechanics Bank

“With Circa, the airport saw rising traffic numbers with multiple sustained new air service route outcomes. The airport's parking enterprise also experienced market share gains and increased revenues.”

John Albrecht, Oakland International AirportAviation Marketing Mgr & CMO

They did a great job creating beautiful work. I loved the web copy. The ad campaign ideas were (plentiful and) clever.

Heather Stephenson, CMO-Super

They’re capable of taking something that is high-level and turning it into something concrete.
They understood the messaging that we were looking for.

Sean Tiedgen, SRTA

No matter the scale of the assignment, big or small, they consistently delivered distinctive & strategically grounded creative solutions.

Jason Daniels, Beam Wine Estates/Clos du Bois

I get access to the senior people who creatively solve my business challenges. I never have to think about the details. Circa anticipates what I need and makes it so easy.

Kristy Stanaway, HP

I'm impressed with their ability to quickly understand my core business concerns. Each time they have developed strategic, consumer focused solutions that make a difference.

WE KNOW WHAT’S IMPORTANT

It’s not awards, though we have our share. It’s getting inside the minds of the target, and discovering key insights that can lead to breakthrough, engaging campaigns. Which is why we recently received recognition from DesignRush.

WE KNOW WHO WE ARE

We’re a creative agency north of San Francisco filled with senior marketers who talk directly to our clients. We put our best minds on all problems. We’re the small kid on the block (with the big imagination.)

WE KNOW HOW TO HELP

As marketers, we know that peer-to-peer reviews can make or break any product or service. That’s why we’re beyond happy, and gratified, to have earned a 5-star rating on advertising agency review site Clutch.

Clients

Strategic

We’re believers that marketing only works when you start with the consumer. Great design and excellent copy will take you nowhere without a sound strategy that speaks to the consumer in a way that matters to them. We pride ourselves on untangling complex products and industries to create human benefits – even where there seem to be none.

Efficient

We’ve spent years working in some of the best advertising agencies in the world, and taken the best from that experience to develop a working process that is as pain-free as possible. When the project management is tight and the system is organized, it helps us focus on what really matters – creative work.

Collaborative

We pride ourselves on friendly and attentive service. That means empathy when goals shift or schedules change. Collaboration on any kind of challenge – even when it’s not what we signed up for. Flexibility with timing and budgetary needs. Hard work to make every project successful. It’s why our client relationships usually end up spanning 5, 10, or 15 years (and counting).

Senior & Accessible

When you work with us, you won’t be assigned the B team. Every piece of work that comes through the agency is touched by the senior leadership team. And we’re always a phone call, text, chat, or email away.

Nimble

We’re built to contract and expand to suit the needs of our clients. We evaluate each client’s needs separately to pull together the team of experts that are best suited to the style and type of marketing that a specific industry or type of product calls for. That means our clients don’t get a staff designer simply because they’re on staff – they get a designer who’s best suited to make their project shine.

Data-Driven

We’re hungry for information – about our clients’ audiences, their products, and industry trends. We actually like data. The more we know, the more we can create marketing that gets results.
