About Arts and Letters Creative Co.
Arts & Letters Creative Co. is an independent creative agency and integrated production company based in Richmond, Virginia. Founded in autumn 2017 by Charles Hodges, it combines advertising strategy and conceptual development with the practical capabilities of a production studio. Its work spans brand platforms, commercial campaigns, design, content and creative technology, with Google serving as its charter client.
The company works as an extension of clients’ internal teams, developing positioning, narrative systems and campaigns across broadcast, digital video, social media and out-of-home advertising. Its strategic services include qualitative insights and brand platform development, while its creative capabilities encompass copywriting, identity design, visual storytelling and campaign activation.
Strategy through production
Arts & Letters brings production and post-production into its creative offering. In-house capabilities include video production, editorial, motion design, sound design and recording. Creative technology work includes AI and digital workflow integrations, alongside the development of social media assets and bespoke activations. This combination reflects the founding aim of bringing advertising’s strategic discipline together with the speed and hands-on craft of a production house.
Campaign work
The agency’s Google work includes Google Assistant holiday advertising, Chromebook campaigns and Google Cloud creative. Its relationship with ESPN includes the revival of “This Is SportsCenter,” the “There’s No Place Like Sports” platform and campaigns supporting football, hockey and college sports.
Other work includes FanDuel’s “Play Your Game” platform, Tito’s Handmade Vodka’s “With Tito’s” platform and “Spokescart” campaigns, and HubSpot’s “All the Data Makes All the Difference.” The studio has also developed national campaigns for Zola and Ramp, brand work for Wealthfront, Olympic advertising for DICK’S Sporting Goods, and Hershey’s “The Real Gold” commercial.
Its client work reaches across consumer technology, cloud services, sports media, betting and gaming, food and drink, financial services, business software and retail. Across these markets, the company’s offering connects brand strategy, campaign ideas and the production of finished creative.
