Hannah Howard
Hello! My name is Hannah Howard, I am the Associate Creative Director at Creative Energy in Johnson City, Tennessee. 2022 will mark one decade in the industry and 7 years at Creative Energy. My time here began as an art director, while the last year has been as ACD.
In my role as ACD I manage and direct creative teams on accounts such as Texas Pete, Green Mountain Gringo, CURED Fine Meats, Northeast Tennessee Tourism Association, and Johnsonville.
As a graphic designer, turned art director I’ve had many opportunities to try my hand at a range of work whether that be design and branding, or development and execution of traditional campaigns for local as well as national brands. I’ve enjoyed the variety of the work and have been honored to picked up a few awards in the process—most notably Creative Energy winning Small Agency of the Year—Southeast Region Gold in 2019.
