What Juliet does

Juliet Creative Inc. is an independent creative agency headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with a secondary office in El Segundo (Los Angeles), California. Founded in 2017, the firm provides integrated strategy, creative development, and production services to help brands establish durable, multi-year brand platforms rather than short-term campaign work. Its service offering comprises three core lines: Strategy (brand platform development), Creative (visual identity systems and campaign creative), and Production (TV, radio, web, mobile, out-of-home, stadium, and live-event execution).

The agency employs 20+ strategists, writers, producers, and designers, with approximately 35% of team members based in rural environments per disclosed operating data. Its public case-study roster spans enterprise and select growth clients across grocery (FreshCo), professional sports (CFL, Sports Interaction), hospitality (The Keg), personal care (Mielle, Shampoohotel), non-profit (Habitat for Humanity), financial services (Embark), pet products (Redbarn), jewelry retail (Peoples Jewellers), events (Departure Fest), and startup CPG (Better Battery Co). Leadership is anchored by founder/CEO/CCO Ryan Spelliscy (former CCO of J.Walter Thompson Toronto at age 36, ex-Goodby Silverstein and Sid Lee, recognized by Fast Company for the Hyundai Assurance campaign), CFO Susan Holden (former CFO of Mother and Barbarian Group, founder of Curious Pictures, 2-time Emmy nominee), Head of Brand Trent Fulton (25 years across Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel's, Cadbury), Head of Production Andrew Schulze (30+ years, 1,000+ productions, ACTRA negotiator), and Head of Accounts Eric Kormos.

The business model is professional services: sales-led client acquisition through relationships, referrals, and industry reputation, with quote-based project and retainer engagements. No pricing is publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct to client (enterprise-led). The firm operates in Canada and the United States and is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent-company relationships. No AI/ML capabilities, proprietary technology products, patents, or trademarks are evidenced in available source material.
