The Fantastical

We are a group of creative directors, writers, designers, developers, and account managers. We share a shared dream of making and spreading strategic work that advances brands and businesses. Founding partners Steve Mietelski and Michael Ancevic are friends; Steve was a creative leader who oversaw SVP Creative Directors for over 15 years. Michael and Steve launched an equal-opportunity agency with George Rogers called The Fantastical. The company is based around Magic Meets Reality, with a flat structure that gives clients access to top-level creative and strategic support. These professionals have held leadership positions at market-leading WPP, MullenLowe, and Team Detroit agencies. Every creative featured here has a long history of creating award-winning, cutting-edge, and business-driving integrated creative work for national, regional, and global brands. This is the company's leadership team (from left to right): Michael Ancevic, Founding partner and President; George Rogers, Partner and Chief Opera Officer; Alana Carpenter, Creative Director; Steve Mietelski, Founding partner and Chief Cre Officer; and Julie Coulton, Account Director.
