Miller Creative

What Miller Creative does

Miller Creative LLC is a New Jersey-based, founder-owned branding and packaging design agency established in 2007 by Yael Miller (Partner & Creative Director) and Reuben Miller (Partner & COO). The firm operates as a B2B professional services studio delivering nine core services — Brand Identity, Packaging Design, Web Design, Brand Naming, Brand Strategy/Audit, Social Media, Environmental & Interior Building, Advertising & Marketing Assets, and Copywriting — to consumer product brands primarily in food & beverage, pet, wine & spirits, health & beauty, cannabis, and retail. It does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its output is human creative labor organized under a hybrid distributed-remote team model that explicitly emphasizes partner involvement at every project stage.

The agency's revenue model is professional services engagement-based, with project and retainer arrangements and quote-based, non-public pricing. GTM is sales-led through a portfolio website showcasing 100+ brand case studies, direct client engagement, referral networks (notably repeat clients such as Chip Vosmik across four brands), and earned visibility from client outcomes in retail, Shark Tank, and M&A events. Named enterprise clients include Chewy.com (Frisco exclusive pet brand at ~500 SKUs and $550M+ estimated gross revenue in 2023), Manischewitz (rebranded prior to acquisition by Kayco/Kedem), David's Cookies, Church & Dwight, and Olli Salumeria; the agency also serves startups and emerging brands (Think Jerky, GoOats, Seven Sons Brewery, Mia, Big Country). The firm is bootstrapped with no external institutional investors and serves primarily US clients with selected project-based engagement in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain.
