About Rarified Creative
We’re a creative agency based in the Kansas City Metro.
“Rarified,” a play on Jen’s last name, is defined as “refined and elevated in style, to an uncommon level of value.” This describes the work we provide to our clients.
Our team has a shared history of working together at what was at the time, the world’s largest in-house creative staff. We honed our expertise in crafting product and strategies based on understanding the emotions that drive purchase decisions. (In other words, creating good work that makes a lot of money.)
We realized that our social expression expertise translated well to marketing. Both rely on authentic messages to make the right connections with people, enhanced by standout design.
Connecting the right people is also a winning formula, so we teamed up as Rarified Creative. We solve challenges and provide services that make our clients’ lives easier.
Together we’ve worked with many clients across a variety of industries. We've developed deep expertise in the animal health industry through our clients NVA and Compassion-First Pet Hospitals, leaders in veterinary medicine and pet resorts. Their mission of improving the lives of pets and their humans aligns well with ours. We’re passionate about people, animals, the environment, and individuals and businesses working to improve their corner of the world.
