Ember & Rise
Creative Perfomance Agency
Strategy with soul. Creative that moves.
Most agencies choose between strategy or creative, or they work in silos.
We build growth at the intersection of both.
Ember & Rise is a creative performance agency where performance isn’t an afterthought and creative doesn’t just look nice. Every campaign is grounded in clear positioning, smart media strategy, and storytelling designed to move people to action.
This is growth marketing built for brands that are ready to scale.

FAQs
What types of brands does Ember & Rise work with?
We work with brands ready to scale, typically founder-led or growth-stage companies that already have traction and want to refine their strategy, creative, and paid media for smarter growth.
Our clients most often operate in (but not limited to):
Wellness, fitness, and health
Real estate and luxury property
Food & beverage and restaurants
CPG and eCommerce
If you value clarity, strong creative, and performance-driven marketing, we’re likely a good fit.
Do you offer full-service marketing or custom retainers?
We offer custom growth retainers built around creative performance marketing.
That typically includes a strategic blend of:
Paid media strategy and execution
Creative direction and campaign development
Brand positioning and messaging
Cinematic video and premium creative
Rather than one-size-fits-all packages, we design retainers based on your goals, channels, and growth stage – so strategy and creative stay aligned as you scale.
What makes Ember & Rise different from traditional agencies?
Traditional agencies often separate strategy, creative, and performance into silos.
As a creative performance marketing agency, Ember & Rise integrates all three.
That means:
Strategy drives every decision
Creative is built to convert — not just look good
Paid media is optimized for learning and long-term growth
We’re founder-led, hands-on, and deeply invested in helping brands build momentum that compounds.
Is video required to work with Ember & Rise?
No. Video is a strategic differentiator, not a requirement.
Some clients start with paid media and growth strategy, then layer in cinematic video or premium creative when it makes sense for their brand and goals.
And some clients start with video projects and then move to growth strategy and performance marketing when they’re ready.
Our approach is flexible.
Do you work with local or national brands?
Both.
We partner with regional brands looking to expand and national brands scaling across markets. Our strategy is built to support growth at any level: from localized performance campaigns to multi-market brand expansion.
