Today is my half birthday, which has nothing to do with trumpets or creative agencies, but I thought it was worth noting in case you want to buy me a present. Trumpet says “Don’t Advertise. Connect.” So that’s what I’m trying to do. Connect with me by buying me a gift. Anyway, Trumpet is a unique creative agency. They’re based in New Orleans, LA, and they typically work with startups, launches, and turnarounds. Since those are exactly the kinds of businesses that New Orleans needs right now, they’re a perfect fit for the city. Trumpet offers holistic strategy guidance that goes beyond advertising and touches on areas like “product development, social or digital strategy, publicity, events, design or sponsored content.” They really aim to touch all areas of the businesses that they work with.

Trumpet Your Abilities

If you want to take a closer look at Trumpet’s approach, all you need to do is look at their work. They’re another company that was named to Fast Company’s list of “The World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies,” but it wasn’t just for their work as a creative agency. Since they work with so many startups, Trumpet has decided to raise $3 million in capital to invest and work with early-stage companies. They are now an agency with a spin off incubator. If you’re intrigued by the story and you like the work, then you’ll probably want to consider a career. They don’t have anything posted on their website, but I found this posting on Work NOLA. It says that they’re hiring mostly on a project basis, but that full-time isn’t out of the question. If you would describe yourself as any of the following, you should reach out to them:

digital artists
writers
designers
environmental design
product design/development
analytics/crm
art directors
public relations
social media
project managers
production supervisors
strategists
researchers
anthropologists
