Don’t Take it From Me
“It is impossible to be in a bad mood around Carly. Her work is a delight and her attitude is a happy force of nature. She has maybe the sharpest wit of anybody I’ve ever worked with, and the compassion to crack wise in a way that leaves you feeling better about yourself. As a writer, she is curious and riveting. As a concepter, she truly comes to life. Her ideas are daring and devilishly simple. As her boss, I was always left with a feeling of ‘Man, I wish I’d thought of that.’”
— Nick Lloyd, Brand Director
There are not enough words to describe Carly. You could try to come up with a cliche like a unicorn or a superstar. You could suggest a multi-hyphenate title. None of it would compare to the magic and creativity she instills in your day. Carly is an energetic and empathetic leader bursting with creativity. She pushes and encourages her team for the very best work that is not only gorgeous and clever, but thoughtful and meaningful. I could go on and on to describe what a joy it was to work with her but it wouldn't do her justice. You need Carly on your team. She will understand what makes everyone tick, and she will know the brief backwards and forwards, and she will create the best work you've seen — all while ensuring everyone was supported and had a fun time doing it. Carly isn't a one-in-a-million person, she's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that every team hopes for."
If you're looking for a powerhouse Creative Director who can transform ideas into unforgettable brand experiences, let me introduce you to Carly Reimann. I had the privilege of working alongside Carly as part of the Marketing & Creative Team at PEAK6 Investments, and it’s hard to pinpoint just one of her superpowers, because she has many. Carly’s ability to generate bold, innovative strategies has been instrumental in shaping our marketing efforts, and her leadership fosters an environment where creativity thrives.
A brand is only as strong as the team behind it, and Carly has a rare talent for uniting creative minds, elevating their strengths, and driving projects forward with precision and purpose. She seamlessly blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, ensuring that ideas don’t just remain ideas; they become dynamic campaigns that captivate while staying on time and within budget.
And if you ever find yourself in Chicago, catching a show at a local comedy club, you might just see another side of Carly’s brilliance live on stage. Her creativity knows no bounds, and that same spark she brings to the stage fuels her work.
In short, if you have the opportunity to hire Carly, take it. She’s the kind of leader who makes an impact, not just on projects, but on people.

I had the privilege of working with her during my time at [company] and she was one of the cornerstones of our creative team. She has a true passion for what she does and will Oxford comma you to death but her eye for detail is second to none. She is a joy to work with and any company/team would be lucky to have a mind of her caliber in their corner.
