owner | creative director
Mark Tucci graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelors in Fine Art. He has owned and operated Tucci Creative, Inc. for 23 years now. Before he sat in the throne he graces today, Mark was just another jester. However, with an affinity for the arts and an unrivaled attention to detail he forged an empire from his life as a published artist. Even today that dedication is reflected in everything he oversees here at Tucci. Not only does he diligently monitor his legacy, but he also helps organize and place all the media buys for the company.
office manager
Cristina Ball got her Associates Degree in Business Administration from Pima Community College and has over 8 years of experience in accounting. She is not only the bookkeeper here at Tucci Creative, but also the keeper of sanity. Without her bright attitude and silly antics we might all be calloused to this industry and the work we do would most certainly reflect that. Thanks to her though, we can undoubtedly say that Tucci Creative is a well-rounded and thorough agency that not only focuses on quality and expertise, but also has a flare for creativity and fun.
account executive
Nicola Redding received her Bachelors in Graphic Design with an emphasis in Marketing from The Art Center Design College of Tucson in 2005. She has over 5 years experience in the marketing industry and is currently the Account Executive at Tucci, although she has served (with honor) in every department at some point. As the head of sales, PR, and special projects she is ultimately responsible for the image the Tucci business resonates - strict and professional, but also cunning and innovative - just like her personality!
SEO and Social Media Consultant
Aaron Tucci is currently attending the University of Arizona as a double major with BA's in both Economics and Italian. His creative side stems from winning grocery store coloring contests as a child. Aside from staying inside the lines, his hobbies include: computers, listening to and discovering new music, and longboard freeriding. Aaron is responsible for SEM, SEO, and social media management for Tucci Creative and its clients.
media buyer | client relations
Tracy Crouthamel graduated from Radford University in 1997 with a BS in International Media Studies. She moved to Tucson in 2009 and joined Tucci in December 2010 after spending 6 years working in NYC for larger advertising firms. If you met Tracy on the street, her playful personality might deceive you to think she wasn't a hardened veteran of the marketing world; however, she does indeed have over 13 years of experience in the field. Although fun and friendly, Tracy's well defined business attitude shines through as she coordinates radio and TV projects between clients and the Tucci art department, and also as she helps assist with client accounts and media buys.
graphic designer
Paula Vazquez graduated from Arizona State University in May 2010 with a BS in Graphic Design. She is rather intelligent indeed; however her expertise in art and design is derived more from her unconditional dedication to any project she engages. Determined to exceed perfection Paula leads the Print and Web Design jobs at Tucci.
animator | graphic designer
Emmett A. Hamilton III was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. At the age of 16 he moved to Tucson where he discovered it truly was a dry heat. He ran 6 years with the Marine Corps Reserve and acquired a few medals and ribbons along the way; he's hoping to do the same for Tucci! Emmett received his education at The Art Center Design College where he graduated with a Bachelors in Animation, which seems fit as he is quite the animated individual. He's been with Tucci since Decemeber 2010 and currently resides in the creative/art department where he develops print and oversees video design and editing.
