About Our Team
A Shared Creative Mindset Fine-Tuned to the Digital Age
We find ourselves saying it regularly because it’s true, we are just as much of a team of researchers as we are a team of creatives. We utilize data everyday to inform design and help our clients make more informed marketing decisions. Integrity, authenticity, innovation, and collaboration aren’t just company mandates; these are all qualities our team members naturally bring to the table. It’s this combination of traits that allows us to combine creativity and strategy and deliver great things for our clients.

We asked our clients, “What improved since you partnered with Hookd Promotions?” Here’s a glimpse of their feedback
Thrilled With Our New Website!
We have been working with Hookd for over a year now and could not be happier! Their whole team has been great to work with—helpful, prompt, and professional! They handle our digital marketing and designed our current websites, which we are so happy with. We highly recommend Hookd to any business!
Understood The Organization
I recommended Hookd Promotions for a local non-profit that needed videos created for their annual event, as well as ongoing business use. After review, the organization chose Hookd to create 3 promotional/information videos. The employees, stakeholders, board members and myself were incredibly overjoyed with the final deliverable. The team at Hookd Promotions did a great job navigating the project, understanding what the organization was looking for and how it would be used, had fantastic customer service and communication, and in the end-they FAR EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS! Very happy to see my recommendation brought tears of joy to many people and am looking forward to working with Hookd again.
Our Big Rebrand!
We loved working with Hookd on our big rebrand! They provided vision, creativity, and most of all the expertise in delivering a great product for our potential customers. —We could not have done it without this amazing team and we highly recommend working with them!
