Who Are We
We named our shop Heart & Soul Marketing for a reason. Well, two of them actually.
#1 – We partner with market leaders and challenger brands to help them uncover and rekindle what they’re truly about at their core (or their Heart & Soul).
#2 – We care about the people who work here and want to make sure they feel the love in their Heart & Soul so that together we can come up with groundbreaking ideas that leave a lasting mark on our industry.
With great partners and great people, we come up with Bold, Revolutionary and Unforgettable storytelling ideas that go beyond mere marketing tactics. We deliver our creative ideas to real people in real time and that translates into real impactful results.

Heart & Soul is one of the hottest young shops in the country and as our rolodex (sorry for making you Google that one, Gen Z) continues to grow with Local, Regional and National clients, we’re in search of a Senior Art Director to become another incredibly valued member of our creative team.Â
