Jacksonville, Fla. – On October 12, 2026, Black Tie Creative announced its four‑year milestone as a full‑service creative agency serving Northeast Florida. Owner and photographer Mark Stemmermann said the firm was founded on a simple observation: most local businesses aren’t lacking talent, they’re lacking consistency across their brand touchpoints.
One‑Team, One Vision
Stemmermann explained that a company’s website, Instagram feed and printed flyer often send mixed messages. Black Tie Creative’s answer is a single point of contact that handles website development, social media strategy, photography, videography, graphic design and paid advertising. By keeping all creative work under one roof, the agency helps clients present a unified brand story.
Services Offered
The agency provides custom website creation with ongoing hosting, comprehensive social‑media management, on‑location photography and video production (including drone footage), logo and print design, and end‑to‑end Meta ad campaigns. Recent additions include cold‑email outreach and AI‑driven workflow automation that book meetings and save teams hours each week. Monthly partnership packages bundle these services for businesses that want a full media team without hiring in‑house staff.
Local Clients and Impact
Over the past four years, Black Tie Creative has worked with a diverse roster of Jacksonville and Northeast Florida clients:
- Hospitality and food: Kava & Company, Dragonfly Lounge, The Block Jax, Lean Kitchen Company, Mambo’s Cuban Café, Mystic Mud Kava.
- Nonprofits and youth groups: Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida, JaxPAL, Walk Off Charities, Operation Homefront, the Jaguar Foundation, Guns N Hoses, River City Science Academy.
- Sports and recreation: Florida Prime Sports, Power Hitters Cheer, APEX School of Sports.
- Healthcare and professional services: Borland Groover, J&M Benefit Solutions, Lumbee Group, Tatonka Health.
- Events and retail: Jacksonville Jazz Festival, The Patrons Club, Turbo Auctions.
For the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida, the agency redesigned the organization’s website, created Instagram and LinkedIn content, and built a new donation page that supported flood‑damage repairs at The Bridge club in Springfield.
Walk Off Charities, a youth baseball nonprofit, receives photography and tournament‑day content from Black Tie Creative, while the Borland Groover charity golf tournament benefited from a professionally produced video.
Community‑Driven Car Culture
Beyond client work, Stemmermann nurtures Jacksonville’s automotive community through two car‑meet brands. Revved & Rooted pairs car culture with nature‑themed events at Kava & Company, while Bold Rallies hosts meet‑ups such as Block & Roll at The Block Jax, even featuring showcase editions like a Ferrari showcase.
Mission, Vision and Family‑First Approach
Black Tie Creative’s mission is to provide affordable media help for companies of all sizes, emphasizing a “friendly, family approach” and a no‑fluff, no‑BS philosophy. The agency publishes its pricing online so business owners know costs before any conversation. Its vision is a Jacksonville where every business, nonprofit and community organization can tell its story, regardless of budget.
“Four years in, what I’m proudest of is who we get to work with,” Stemmermann said. “Kava bars, restaurants, youth sports teams, and nonprofits that are changing kids’ lives. Jacksonville has trusted us with their stories, and we don’t take that lightly.”
Looking Ahead
As Black Tie Creative looks to its fifth year, the agency plans to expand its AI‑automation services and continue supporting local nonprofits through pro‑bono projects and fundraiser events. The firm’s growth reflects a broader trend in Northeast Florida: small businesses seeking professional, consistent branding without the expense of multiple vendors.
