CRTE Agency — CREATE · Los Angeles

The agency that builds it.

Strategy, search, campaigns, and content — delivered by senior operators out of Los Angeles. We take brands from unseen to unavoidable, then keep them there. No junior handoff, no rotating account managers, no white-label reseller stack.

What we run

Six practice areas, one senior bench.

CRTE runs as one integrated agency, not a stack of siloed departments. Strategy leads the conversation, and every practice area — search, paid, content, web, ecommerce, reputation — reports into the same senior operator running your account.

Search

Local, technical, AI, and enterprise SEO — plus paid search that respects LA-metro auction economics.

Paid social

Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube with creative from CRTE Studio piping into the ad account weekly.

Ecommerce

Shopify + Amazon full-funnel for DTC and CPG brands operating out of Los Angeles.

Web + brand

Custom marketing sites, brand systems, and ADA-compliant builds shipped in weeks — not quarters.

Content + email

Editorial-grade content, Klaviyo/HubSpot lifecycle, and Digital PR built on real journalist relationships.

Reputation

Reputation software, review generation, SERP defense, and franchise-scale response programs.

The CRTE difference

Built like an operator ran it, because one does.

Senior-only bench

The person you meet on the intro call is the person building the campaigns and reviewing the reports. Eight-plus years of category-specific chops per lead.

In-house studio

CRTE Studio in Westlake Village handles product, food, portrait, video, and UGC — same team, same calendar, same brief.

Revenue-tied reporting

Executive dashboards signed against real business KPIs — revenue, pipeline, or bookings — not vanity metrics your CFO will laugh at.

Los Angeles native

We know the neighborhoods, the media, the LA-specific auction dynamics, and the creative talent pool you have available to work with.

Category exclusivity

On strategy-led retainers, we don't run two direct competitors in the same LA-metro market at the same time. Signed in the agreement.

Real accountability

One senior lead. One shared Slack. One weekly working session. One monthly executive review. No mystery meetings, no ghost teams.

How we work

A four-phase cadence, every engagement.

01
Discover

Kickoff, audit, and diagnostics. We map the account, the market, and the goal before we touch anything.

02
Plan

A 90-day roadmap with the channels, creative, budget, and KPIs the team will actually be measured against.

03
Build

Senior operators do the work — no juniors on your account. Weekly cadence, transparent Slack, real deliverables.

04
Optimize

Monthly review + quarterly recalibration. We double down on what works and cut what doesn't, on purpose.
