Receptor Creative Agency

We got a chance to enjoy a HOLON listening experience tonight. We’re so excited about what our neighbors are building. Be sure to look out for the next Transmission event.

Meet Maggie, our new junior design intern! Maggie is a UMASS Dartmouth graduate with experience in print and digital design. She’ll be lending her skills to develop logos and brand identities, creating website graphics, document templates, social posts, and more. We’re so excited to have as part of the team!

A fun Friday in Providence amidst all of the energy and activities surrounding the World Cup. The team enjoyed an afternoon at the RISD Museum by taking in fine art from around the world to find new inspiration.

Some news from our Principal, Matt Smith:

“For the past 12 weeks I have had the pleasure of being part of the 10,000 Small Businesses program in its 26th cohort. It was an amazing opportunity for me to take some intentional time away from my business each week in order to truly focus on how to grow it.

In my time participating in the program I met so many passionate small business owners who were all working through the same struggles I’ve faced since taking the helm at Receptor. Together, we now have a clearer picture of how to improve our operations and encourage sustained growth, as well as a very strong network of some of the most supportive entrepreneurs I’ve ever met.”

Congrats to all of the scholars in Cohort 26 for your dedication to growing your businesses and yourselves.

After 6 long years, we’re excited to announce that Receptor is once again taking up roots in the city we love since we left our last location behind us in the wake of the pandemic. Our new hybrid office location on the west side of Providence will allow us to have more personal opportunities for collaboration and connection between our team and our clients, while still maintaining a flexible and independent remote culture. We’re excited for what the future holds, and we can’t wait to share some photos of the space once we’re settled!

What a game! The team had the pleasure of seeing a hard fought overtime win tonight. We even got on the jumbotron!

Our Principal Matt Smith recently caught up with DESIGNxRI to discuss our agency’s process towards building resonant brand, transitioning from designer to owner, our latest direct mail promo, and projects we’ve been working on with local Rhode Island businesses.
