About Type 2 Creative

Our NYC & Saratoga Springs Creative Agency

It started in 2015, when founder Lizz Spano sponsored a work event and noticed something that would change everything—every guest was photographing their food for Instagram. With a background in photography, Lizz launched her own food account, landed her first restaurant client almost immediately, and was asked to shoot content and manage their social media. One restaurant became two, then ten, and Type 2 Creative was born.

Over the past decade, Lizz has partnered with hundreds of brands across hospitality, consumer packaged goods, and lifestyle—bringing nearly 20 years of expertise in sales, marketing, and visual storytelling to every project. What began as a creative outlet is now a full-service social media and content marketing agency helping brands stand out online with photography, strategy, and content that converts. Type 2 Creative specializes in brand photography, social media strategy, and content creation that's both scroll-stopping and ROI-driven—helping businesses in competitive markets show up consistently and beautifully online.

Based in New York City and Saratoga Springs, NY and working with clients remotely nationwide, As a boutique social media agency serving New York City, Saratoga Springs, and remote clients nationwide, we specialize in social media management, brand photography, and content creation services both locally and remotely—a boutique, woman-owned creative studio where every brand gets senior-level strategy, hands-on execution, and content built to perform.
