Rebel River Creative 2024 Year in Review: Milestones, Wins, and Client Highlights

Rebel River Creative Year in Review

We’re taking a moment to reflect on a year packed with big moves, bold projects, and incredible client wins. From groundbreaking digital work to unforgettable photo and video shoots, this year was all about celebrating our clients’ successes and pushing creative boundaries. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights that made this year one for the books.

Gerrick Phillips Joins as a Partner at Rebel River Creative

Rebel River Creative leveled up this year, welcoming a new partner to the fold—our very own digital director, Gerrick Phillips. Since joining the team in 2021, Gerrick has been at the forefront of driving bold, innovative digital strategies. But Gerrick’s journey with Rebel River started long before that, back in 2017. Now, as a partner, he continues to infuse creativity and technical brilliance into everything we do.

Here’s the lowdown on Gerrick: with over 25 years of digital experience, he’s built nearly 600 websites, mastered advanced SEO strategies, and honed his skills with WordPress VIP and Core team members. Beyond the digital sphere, Gerrick’s life as a former RCA recording artist brings unmatched creativity and audience insight to our projects. He’s not just a tech wizard—he’s an artist, a strategist, and a game-changer.

We’re raising a toast to our incredible clients whose work caught the spotlight this year. Rebel River Creative earned international acclaim at the 2024 dotCOMM Awards, but the real stars are our clients and their vision.
