About

Tracy Marlowe believes in the power of women.

Early in her career, Tracy worked in offices where women were often considered “less than” for juggling their careers with family matters. In 2008, with a new infant at home, she began building Creative Noggin, a fully remote advertising agency. Her mission was to empower smart, passionate women to do work they enjoyed while balancing their home life with the support of a family-first work environment.

Tracy firmly believes that a woman's potential knows no boundaries. Women are often underestimated yet research shows that women in business consistently outperform their male counterparts. She learned that creating a culture which nurtures women benefits her organization, her clients and the world at large as women are pivotal, influential and support so many around them.

Tracy has over 25 years marketing and branding expertise, having worked with recognizable brands such as Disney, Exxon Mobile and the U.S. Air Force. Her agency, Creative Noggin, specializes in marketing for nonprofits and cause based organizations to include charities, government, zoos, museums, healthcare and foundations. The company has grown from just over $100,000 in sales the first year to upwards of seven million dollars in revenue. The agency donates 5% of its profits annually to causes that support women empowerment and is living proof that a flexible, human-centered workplace is not just good for employees, but also good for business.
