What Quirk Creative does

Quirk Creative Inc is an independent, woman-owned boutique creative agency founded circa 2015 by Meryl Draper and Gaelan Draper. Originally established in Silicon Valley and now headquartered in New York (32 Mercer Street, SoHo), the firm maintains additional offices in Guadalajara, Mexico and Paris, France. It sells high-impact video campaigns, commercials, and social content to direct-to-consumer brands, established consumer companies, and Fortune 500 clients, with case studies spanning Augustinus Bader, Angi, Babbel, Blue Apron, Carbonite, Chomps, Lume, Mizuho, Monster, Ruggable, and Tula among approximately forty named clients. Revenue is generated through project-based fees and retainer arrangements under a professional services model, with direct outreach and referral as the primary go-to-market motion.

The agency's core technical platform is an integrated concept-to-post production model: creative strategy, animatic validation, in-house direction, shoot production, and post-production are performed under a single roof by a roster of in-house commercial directors, editors, animators, and VFX artists. Differentiators flagged in source data include the in-house production model (avoiding external bid-outs), a creative validation process that tests messaging and animatics with target audiences before principal photography, and the use of Unreal Engine and digital background screens for high-concept campaigns such as Jackpocket's 'Stellar Wins.' Outputs span linear TV, OTT/CTV, and social video; marketing relies on the findyourquirk.com website, LinkedIn, Instagram, an LBB profile, and a quarterly newsletter.

The business is privately held, incorporated in New York, with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or acquisition activity. Industry recognition includes Adweek's fastest-growing agencies list (2019), Adweek Creative 100 and Drum 50 Under 30 for founder Meryl Draper, and Fast Company's #3 Most Innovative Workplaces ranking. The agency undertook a rebrand and visual identity update in March 2026 alongside continued marquee partnerships, including a Super Bowl-window campaign with cloud gaming platform PHIND and a five-year LPGA renewal with Mizuho.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Mother: Independent creative agency with offices in NYC and London, producing integrated campaigns across TV, digital, and social. Like Quirk, it operates independently (not part of a holding company), emphasizes creative craft, and serves brand clients seeking non-traditional agency models.
• Anomaly: Independent creative and media agency with a comparable model of integrated strategy, creative, and production. Anomaly serves a similar mix of brand and DTC clients and competes for the same boutique, high-craft agency RFPs that Quirk targets.
• GUT: Independent creative agency with offices in Miami, Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Toronto. Like Quirk, GUT positions itself as an independent alternative to holding-company networks and has a strong track record with brand-led campaigns across TV, digital, and social.
• Preacher: Independent creative agency known for integrated brand campaigns and production. Preacher's boutique scale, brand-craft focus, and client roster (mix of consumer brands and culture-driven companies) closely mirror Quirk's positioning.
• Quality Meats: Boutique creative agency with strong production capabilities, known for integrated campaigns for consumer brands. Quality Meats competes with Quirk in the same niche of small, craft-driven shops that handle strategy, creative, and production under one roof.
• Arts&Science: Independent creative agency producing work across film, design, and digital for consumer brands. Arts&Science shares Quirk's emphasis on craft, integrated production, and an independent (non-network) operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Wieden+Kennedy: One of the largest independent creative agencies globally, with deep brand-craft heritage and in-house production capabilities. Wieden+Kennedy competes for the same brand-led, creative-driven briefs that Quirk targets, but at meaningfully larger scale and global footprint.
• Droga5: Major independent creative agency (now part of Accenture Song) known for high-profile brand campaigns across TV, digital, and social. Droga5 overlaps with Quirk on Fortune 500 and DTC clients and competes for premium creative briefs at greater scale.
• The Martin Agency: Long-established independent creative agency with deep brand-TV and integrated production capabilities. The Martin Agency serves as a scaled independent comparable to Quirk for enterprise brand campaigns requiring in-house creative + production.

Others
