Charles R Barrett
SVP – Senior Creative Director
Charles has been working with us as an external partner for years, and will now be deploying his extensive brand development and design expertise exclusively as a member of our team. In this capacity, he will help further elevate our own unique brand, and those of our clients.
“For me, it is all about making a brand come alive and making sure it shines everywhere—no matter the medium. Creative execution is my sweet spot. Design without purpose is empty; it’s about crafting something that sticks with people. Every detail, from concept to messaging, has to pull its weight to shape an unforgettable narrative. My skillset, combined with StreetCred’s passion for elevating clients’ media presence, go hand in hand.” said Charles.
With 35+ years in the creative industry, Charles has built a distinguished career that began in the music business at Bertelsmann Music Group, RCA and Atlantic Records. His expertise spans various sectors, and his collaborative, creative leadership has enabled him to work alongside some of the most talented artists and art directors in the country.
In 2007, Charles took a bold step and founded FZ Creative, an award-winning brand marketing and design agency in Yardley, Pennsylvania. Over the years, his team has crafted impressive brands across multiple industries, including financial services, staffing and careers, B2B product development and more.
His client roster speaks for itself, including noteworthy names like: Hilton Worldwide, TransUnion, TIAA, Northern Trust, Six Flags, Cisco, ServiceMaster and more. He has also previously, and successfully, worked with some of StreetCred’s existing clients.
In addition to his work at FZ Creative, Charles founded FZ Works, a dynamic creative space in Yardley, PA, built to foster collaboration, innovation and community.
