Allow Us to Introduce Ourselves

hi, we're redpepper.

We believe (wholeheartedly) in three things.

We celebrate our individuality, together.

Redbits

One of the best ways to learn is by teaching. Once a week, we bring back what we’ve found, sharing it through a ten-minute presentation to the entire team.
Watch a few

Pepperpalooza

Once a year, we snooze our notifications, come together, and share two days of learning and reconnecting at Pepperpalooza—our annual retreat and growth fest.
CHECK IT OUT

CreateAthon

We like to use our powers for good. So every year, we set aside a day—and night—to donate creative services to deserving nonprofits in our community. We pour our hearts and minds (and extra coffee) into creating whatever they need to be successful.
SEE WHAT WE'VE CREATED

We make a pretty good team.

Assoc. Director, Resource Management

Alma Lechuga

Learn More

Resource, revamp, and repurpose. That’s (probably) Alma’s mantra. She staffs every opportunity that comes through the agency and guarantees that we have top-notch resources to produce great work for our clients. When she closes her laptop for the day, you'll find her giving new life to vintage clothes and spending time with her two kiddos in the Windy City.

Account Director

Carly Nealy

Learn More

A passion for people is at the core of everything Carly does. She thrives on creating impactful solutions to exceed client goals and always gives a dose of the unexpected.

VP of Agency Operations

Caroline Hamel

Learn More

With Caroline as our captain of agency operations, we stay in tip-top shape.

With Caroline around, it’s always smooth sailing.

Account Director

Caroline Meyer

Learn More

A Georgia peach, a fur baby mom, and a diehard advocate for our clients, Caroline does it all. And never misses a beat. When she's not managing the needs of clients, challenging the comfort zones of those around her, or pushing the creative work to perfection, she’s probably on her way to see Phish (she’s officially seen the band 100+ times). Go ahead and add “committed” to her list of accolades.

Account Supervisor

Jacob Wheeler

Learn More

When you have a down-to-earth, no-challenge-is-too-big attitude like Jacob’s, rallying teams and leading them to success is first-nature. Jacob's second-nature? Sarcasm, memes, Duke's mayonnaise, general debauchery, things of that sort. Status quo? Consider yourself extinct around Jacob.

Safe to say Matt puts the “pro” in production.
