Founder
Katie Yancu
I’ve spent the last five years helping dreamers bring their brands to life online, and it’s still as exciting as day one. Whether it’s brainstorming bold ideas or seeing a project come together, I love finding ways to make big visions a reality. When I’m not knee-deep in creative, you’ll find me planning my next adventure (Nepal, here I come!) or cooking something that’s (probably) too complicated—but totally worth it.
Creative Director
Brooke Tiller
Creativity takes many forms for me—whether I’m building marketing systems, crafting social media strategies, or experimenting with clay in my free time. With over a decade as a creator, I thrive on authentic storytelling and creating connections that matter. And if there’s a honey latte nearby, even better.
Multimedia Designer
Ryan Sowulewski
Fueled by yerba mate (and maybe a little creative chaos), social media is where I thrive! Whether I'm designing, filming, or planning the next big idea, I'm always balancing creativity and connection. When inspiration strikes, it's usually somewhere in Detroit's art or techno scene, sparking ideas for whatever comes next.

Working with Yancu Creative Agency for our branding work at Homecoming and Reunion restaurants was an absolute pleasure. They listened to our vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. Their ability to capture the essence of our restaurants in their branding work was truly remarkable.

Since working with Yancu, we have seen firsthand the enormous impact video can make on our business. Our social media insight reports from this past month were our most successful yet, which directly correlates to our busiest and most profitable month as a business
