Teams

Hello. I’m Tracy Downing-McDermott, principal at Ivy & Pine. I’ve held lead roles in marketing and brand development for 30 years working with brands like Royal Caribbean, Target, IBM, and The Principal Financial Group, among others.

I’ve built new brands and revised existing ones, led market research initiatives, worked with creatives to create new logos, collateral systems, and digital marketing tools. I launched products, consulted on ship designs, created branded experiences and crafted new product ideas to appeal to emerging markets.

It was exciting, rewarding work and this is the experience I bring to every project, big or small. 

Ivy & Pine’s business model uses an approach that is nimble and affordable for more businesses. I lead initial strategy and project planning then assemble a team of experienced, vetted professionals with the targeted skills your project requires.

You’ll get all of the expertise and none of the overhead costs you find working with a larger creative agency. 

If this nimble and customized approach sounds like a fit for your brand and your business, let’s work together.
