about us
we are a full-service social media content marketing+ brand strategy agency for non-profits, small businesses, creative entrepreneurs, and socially-conscious brands.
our vision
989 Creative was derived from a dream to do better for people.
Our focus every day is to tell authentic stories for our clients and for our souls.
And, for that, we will do the best for our clients while keeping their most important asset in mind every day, their people.
Our founder, Cameron Stefanski, has 10+ years of industry experience working with nonprofits and brands across the country.
He realized over that time that nonprofits and smaller businesses/brands lack the ability to have a full-service marketing & development team to take their strategic pipe dreams to the next level continuously.
Cameron set out to create his own brand that will focus on ensuring that nonprofits and forward-thinking brands will have the strategic creative assets they need to meet their audience right where they currently are to help make the biggest impact and invigorate their audiences to help remind them what it feels like to truly feel alive.
Hi there! Cameron here. I am a creative professional with a background in non-profit development, social media marketing, and arts management. Building effective strategies and interpersonal relationships have really fueled my success, and I look forward to continuing that work with you to achieve your wildest goals and aspirations!
My mission and vision is to leave people better than when I found them. I care about people and their stories. It is my everyday intention to use what I am good at and passionate about as a force for good and to create change.
It is not lost on me that the importance in giving people the opportunity to make them feel like their most authentic self starts with creating acceptance affirming spaces and experiences that make folks safe, seen, and represented through community.
I am a social media guru, website management professional, event creator, and creative business strategist here to walk alongside you to move your mission forward.
hi, i’m
