Our founders Adam and Mike (left and right, respectively) are award-winning, TV network executives who opened Soul Kitchen Creative.

What feels like several lifetimes ago, they started at the bottom of the production ladder and worked their way up to the top of the executive food chain.

Hungry for more, they opened up their own agency.

This 2.0 life gives them the opportunity to work with a wide and diverse range of clients.

As former execs, they know what it’s like to be on the inside.

They know how important it is to create a culture of employees who are masters of their craft, but even more importantly bring the right mindset to a company.

Good vibes, only.

They know what it’s like to grind on a cut and then present it to “the group.”

They also know what it’s like to then have to digest and give that collective feedback to an agency.

Our clients say Soul Kitchen makes their lives easier.

We’d love for you to say that about us, too.
