About me

"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." - Steve Jobs

Craig is obsessed with "how it works".

There’s a phenomenon unfolding in the field of media, one that is twofold and partially out of our hands. As consumers have grown callused to the old-fashioned forms of advertising, they propose a challenge to the minds behind content.

However, this trial is an opportunity to push the limits of what we perceive to be advertising, calling creativity to the forefront of the process with innovation at the heart of the operation. Agencies now must think beyond selling—they need to engage, and do so strategically.

Craig Elimeliah is one of those pioneers that is leading the revolution in digital creative. Never settling for the status quo, his approach to mediating the complexities that accompany business is one that seeks to understand the crux of where creativity and technology meet—and it turns out the result is pure magic. Elimeliah pushes the brink of strategy into a realm of uncharted, unrestrained conceptive creativity.

Working closely with world class brands applying a keen understanding and expertise in helping my clients understand how to better strategize and integrate new forms of digital and social media techniques at the core as well as into larger campaign initiatives.
