HABANERO CREATIVE

Creative & Design Agency in Dallas, TX

Good creative does one thing: it makes people stop, pay attention, and do what you want them to do. If your ads aren't getting clicks, your logo doesn't look like a real business, or your social graphics are getting scrolled past — that's not a taste problem. That's a creative problem. And it's fixable.

Design That Looks Good But Doesn't Do Anything

The problem with most agency creative isn't that it's ugly — it's that it's designed to win awards and pass presentations, not to perform in the real world. You've seen it. Maybe you've paid for it.

  • Your ads aren't getting clicks — not because the offer is wrong, but because the creative isn't stopping the scroll.
  • Your logo and brand assets look inconsistent across your website, trucks, and ads — and you've never had a real brand system.
  • You've paid freelancers or agencies for design that looked fine in the presentation and died in the real world.
  • Your social graphics are getting scrolled past because there's nothing distinctive about them.
  • Every campaign requires starting from scratch because there are no templates, no brand guidelines, no design system your team can actually use.

What We Design

Brand Identity & Logo Design

Logo, color palette, typography, brand guidelines, and the full asset suite — built to hold up everywhere your business shows up, from your website to your work trucks.

Ad Creative — Display, Social & Video

Ad creative built around your offer, your audience, and the channel it's running on. Display ads, social ads, video graphics — designed to stop the scroll and drive the click.

Social Media Graphics

Post templates, story templates, cover graphics, and campaign assets your team can actually use — not Canva nightmares that fall apart when someone tries to edit them.

Presentation & Sales Deck Design

If the deck looks like it was made in 2009, the person across the table is already discounting you. We design presentations that match the quality of what you're selling.

Campaign Creative Packages

For seasonal promotions, product launches, or multi-channel campaigns: email headers, social graphics, landing page heroes, and ad creative — built from one brief so everything looks like it came from the same place.

Bilingual Creative

English and Spanish, built as a system from the start. Not translation — native bilingual design where both versions feel intentional and culturally right.

Need Creative That Actually Converts?

Tell us what you're trying to accomplish and where the creative needs to go. We'll scope the work and show you exactly what we'd build.

How We Run Creative Projects

  1. 01

    Creative Brief & Discovery

    We talk through what you need, where it's going, and what it needs to accomplish. Who's the audience, what's the message, what action do you want them to take. Clear brief up front means fewer revision rounds later.

  2. 02

    Concept Development

    We use AI to compress the concept exploration phase — generating and evaluating multiple visual directions before settling on two or three to develop. You see real options, not just one direction you're asked to react to.

  3. 03

    Design & Iteration

    We develop the chosen direction into production-ready creative, iterate based on your feedback, and pressure-test it across the formats and contexts it'll actually appear in — not just how it looks in a presentation.

  4. 04

    Delivery & Brand Documentation

    Final files in every format you need, organized and labeled so they're actually usable. If this is brand identity work, you get guidelines that explain how to use everything — so future assets stay consistent whether we made them or your team did.

DFW Dealership Group

Redesigned monthly event creative across display, social, and email — click-through rates on display ads increased 3x within two campaign cycles.

We were using the same generic templates for every event. The new creative actually looks like us — and it performs like it too.

Who Creative & Design Is Right For

This is for you if…

  • Automotive dealers who need campaign creative for monthly sales events, inventory promotions, and service department ads
  • Home services companies running seasonal campaigns (summer AC, winter heating, spring plumbing) who need fast creative production
  • New and growing businesses that need a real brand identity — not a placeholder they'll have to redo in two years
  • Businesses marketing to bilingual audiences who need creative that works natively in English and Spanish
  • Existing clients running paid media, social, or content programs who need a creative partner that knows the full campaign context

This might not be right if…

  • Businesses looking for the absolute lowest cost option — quality creative takes real time and skill, and AI-assisted production is faster than traditional but not free
  • Companies that want to hand off all creative decisions with no involvement — we need your input on brand, audience, and goals to produce work that actually performs

Why Habanero Studios for Creative

AI-Accelerated, Not AI-Generated

We use AI to compress concept exploration and copy variation — not to replace design thinking. AI doesn't know your brand or your audience. We do. The result is more iterations in less time, not lower quality.

Creative Built for Where It Goes

What works on a Facebook feed doesn't work on a display banner. What works on a display banner doesn't work on a CTV spot. We design for the channel and the context, not just how it looks in a deck.

Connected to the Full Campaign

We run paid media, social, and content programs. That means the creative we build integrates with the rest of your campaign — not floating on its own.

Industry Knowledge Built In

The dealership running a Presidents' Day event needs different creative than the HVAC company pushing a summer tune-up. We know the verticals we work in and what the creative needs to do.
