Why Work With Type 2 Creative?

Because this isn’t your typical agency—and that’s exactly the point. Led by Lizz Spano, Type 2 Creative brings together sharp strategy, scroll-worthy content, and a hands-on, thoughtful approach that actually gets results. Lizz knows the trends, the algorithms, and more importantly, what makes people stop, look, and engage.

Type 2 Creative works like an extension of your team—whether you’re running a local neighborhood café or launching a national CPG brand. No copy-paste strategies here. Every brand gets a custom approach rooted in creativity, clarity, and connection.

Clients stick around because Lizz is responsive (like, really responsive), collaborative, and always ahead of the curve—so your brand doesn’t just keep up, it stands out.

About Type 2 Creative

It started in 2015, when founder Lizz Spano sponsored an event for work and noticed something interesting—everyone invited was there taking photos of their food for their Instagram. With a background in photography, Lizz thought it might be fun to start a food account of her own and maybe get invited to events like that too. Just a few posts in, a local restaurant contacted her to shoot some content and asked if she could run their social media. One restaurant turned into two then ten, and before long, Type 2 Creative was officially an agency.

Over the past 10 years, Lizz has worked with hundreds of brands—from hospitality to consumer packaged goods and lifestyle products, bringing nearly two decades of experience in sales, marketing, and visual storytelling. What started as a creative outlet has grown into a full-fledged business that helps brands show up beautifully in ways that are both strategic and scroll-stopping.

Based in New York City and Saratoga Springs, and working both locally and remotely, Type 2 Creative is a one-woman studio built on big ideas, thoughtful content, and a deep love of branding that actually connects.
