About

Big Ideas. Special Ops. Midtown hip.

We love what we do. You will too.

What is special ops?

Our take is that it is a select team of superior marketing specialists that has the intelligence, ability, courage and resources to handle any job of any magnitude. One that is founded on caffeine, creativity, strategy, analytics and results. One that can move on the fly and has the talent and means to be solution-agnostic while maintaining the ability to be able to work with clients we want to work with, who we believe in, and know we can celebrate success with. One that allows personal freedoms to put people in the best environment for their success, which is our success and becomes your success. One that through its culture generates “best effort” performance in a collaborative, casual, fun and often irreverent atmosphere.

Get it done, make it great and have fun doing it.

Special ops works for us. We’re pretty sure it will work for you too.

As we say around here...
