Mark James Creative

I guide cross-channel creative for growing retail brands by creating innovative, multi-channel advertising concepts. After developing my skills in video and photography direction as an independent creative, I entered the corporate sphere to establish Banana Republic’s global in-store and window design strategy. Since then I have worked alongside high-performance creative and business teams to develop, refine, and launch digital-first brand experiences, building teams and core creative processes to establish centers of excellence focused on design, photography, and video art direction. As a leader I value contributions from all levels of experience and across business functions, and prioritize systems that enable communication throughout all stages of creative development. Campaign expertise includes website, email, CRM, social, print, out-of-home, and in-store advertising.
