Caitlin Loos

Creative Leader. Brand Expert.

The alchemy of design, brand, and messaging makes more than the sum of its parts. It captivates audiences and creates the right moment for the right message. 

This kind of magic requires a team who is inspired, efficient, and guided by shared purpose. 

I am obsessed with fueling intimate connections between humans and brands. With 18 years of experience, my expertise is focused on creative leadership, design, brand and identity, employer brand, communications, and marketing. 

My work is a balance of smart strategy, action, and impact combined with divergent thinking, imagination, and play. 

I have built and led in-house creative teams, agency client teams, and internship programs. I am a fierce advocate for my people, and I know how to create the context for creatives to do their best work.
