Phil Scopp

Phil began his creative career at the University of Illinois School of Art & Design in Champaign-Urbana.
After graduating, he moved to Atlanta and joined a small design firm, where he gained hands-on experience
across the entire creative process—from concept development through print production. After several years,
he transitioned to freelance work, steadily building relationships with larger clients and taking on more
complex assignments.

He later joined Corporate Reports and Wages Design, two respected Atlanta-area studios known for
investor communications and high-level brand identity work. Phil then founded Creative R&D, a boutique
design studio specializing in strategic creative communications for businesses and corporations.

After many successful years running his studio, Phil joined the internal marketing and branding
organization at CheckFree Corporation, which was later acquired by Fiserv. As part of the in-house
creative team, he developed a wide range of communications for sales, corporate marketing, business
units, investor relations, advertising, internal communications, human resources, and other stakeholders.
He also played a role in the development and launch of a new company brand.

In 2017, Phil returned to independent practice, bringing his corporate, agency, and studio experience
together to provide enterprise-level creative communications for small and mid-sized businesses.
Today, he partners directly with companies as well as agencies and design studios, developing thoughtful,
engaging creative solutions across a broad range of projects.
