Entrepreneurial spirit, community and clientele are at the heart of Glow Creative—and we had a dynamic chat with Glow president Howie Kleinberg, head of strategy Maggie Walsh, and ECD Ellie Lloyd. Their love for Glow is abundantly clear—and their passion for working within an indie agency is equally powerful.
The combination of cultural and creative imagination has been part of Glow’s framework since its founding in 1999. Some of Glow’s outreach and success can be seen through their work as The Roku Channel’s AOR and expertly promoting socials for the Westminster Kennel Club for the past 10 years.

“I would say a brand that definitely inspires me frequently is Patagonia… as a consumer I’ve always been intrigued by not just the quality of their clothing but what their place in the world and culture is. They put their money where their mouth is regarding the environment and I just think that’s a real special place.”
