Creative illustrators, photographers and copywriters agency New York - Traffic Creative Management

Traffic Creative Management is a boutique creative agency representing a small group of noted illustrators, photographers, copywriters, art directors, savvy branders and social media experts.  While representing artists, Traffic also curates creative team’s for brands and agencies, which are geared specifically to the needs of the project and client.

"We have worked with top international brands for close to 18 years including Henri Bendel, L'Oreal, Lancome, Guess, Neiman Marcus, Victoria's Secret, Ann Taylor, Coty, Condé Nast and Hearst magazines, as well as many of the top advertising agencies and design firms."   —Michelle Edelman

"I founded Traffic 18 years ago and the agency is driven my personal interest and experience.  Before Traffic I ran a branding and design consultancy, Sisman Design, and spent a number of years as a photography editor at Condé Nast. The biggest contribution to my marketing and creative arsenal are my years working with Cato DesgrippesBeauchantGobé and Lister Butler, two top branding companies, where I was primarily focused on Fashion, Fragrance and Liquors businesses.  I was infused with research and the strategic development of brands. I worked on the early brand positioning of Victoria's Secret, banana republic and The Limited.  I also worked on the Brown Forman Distillers account for 4 years and was integral in developing ICY Vodka, as well as overseeing many of the other Brown Forman brands.

Traffic has always prided itself of being a boutique agency. Remaining small has allowed greater focus on each of the artists it represents.  Through a very hands on approach, the agency is able to guide and drive the careers of it's artists, rather than be controlled by the whims of the industry and doing work that is of lesser interest.

Traffic represents three photographers.

Traffic also spends a good deal of time helping clients find the right artist.  After being in the business for so many years, they have a vast network of creative talent that spans the entire globe from Europe, Asia, to the US and more.  Lately, they have been focusing heavily on illustrated typography as that is something they get a lot of requests for.

Copy Writers

Traffic works with many savvy copywriters doing naming, brand positioning, taglines, developing a brand's voice and so forth. 

"We have a lot of experience with naming! Depending upon the project, we either work with one of our copywriters or we put together naming groups to generate a lot of ideas.  Through the years we have created our own savvy system and strategy to developing names that are on point all the way through to copyrighting and trade marking names." Michelle Edelman, CEO.

"One of our favorite projects is consulting, writing and editing Guess' seasonal magazine. I work on that personally with one of our top writers, Amy Swift."

Our writers include:

Amy Swift, Brenda Cullerton, Jim Larkin, Audrey Devries, Courtney Saunders

and more.

Products we have named:

ICY Vodka

Artemus (High end Art Leasing company www.artemus.com)

NAVE (by Onward Kashiama)
