Talent

Hello. I’m Tracy Downing-McDermott, principal at Ivy & Pine.

My professional career has covered marketing, sales, graphic design, market research, product development and brand strategy with some of the world’s most recognized brands–Royal Caribbean, Target, IBM, and Principal Financial Group, to name a few.  

My career touched every aspect of these disciplines. I led market research initiatives, led the development of new print collateral & digital sales and marketing tools, built new brands, revised existing brands, and developed new products to appeal to emerging markets.

This is the experience I bring to every project, big or small. 

My teammates have similar backgrounds and experiences. Together, we are a nimble group of aligned talent that assembles to work on a particular project, and are chosen based on experience and client need.

This model gives our clients all of the skill and experience they need on a project, without the overhead you’ll find in a big creative agency model.

If this approach sounds like a fit for you, let’s work together.

Are you ready to grow?
Give us a call.​
