Entry Details

Meet creative ops professionals in New York for this year's Creative Operations event – 25+ expert speakers, real-world case studies, and future-ready insights.


The Creative Operations community takes center stage once again. Process rebels, innovation architects, and fearless creators will come together to challenge norms, rethink systems, and redefine the future of creative work.

I lead the Creative Operations team at Balsam Brands. My work is all about helping creative teams operate at their best by making things more efficient, scalable, and strategic. But to me, operational excellence isn’t just about systems and workflows—it’s also about building a culture of empathy and trust. I once surprised the Creative team with Halloween Trivia while dressed in a hot dog costume during our seasonal peak of peaks (photo available upon request). When people feel seen and connected, the work elevates and gets faster – even better if you can give them a moment to laugh.

The challenge today:
Creative and in-house marketing teams are under pressure to deliver more, faster and at lower cost, while maintaining high standards. Many teams lack a scalable model that balances quality, speed, and budget as demand fluctuates.

Common roadblocks include:
• Limited internal bandwidth during peak periods
• Rising costs and unpredictable timelines
• Difficulty managing global creative output efficiently
• Communication and trust gaps with offshore resources

What you’ll gain: 

Kamey Butler is a multi-creative leader with over 25 years of experience across fashion, beauty, art, and entertainment, shaping global brands as an agent, producer, creative director, and operational architect. After experiencing burnout in 2012, she turned inward, studying natural healing, mindfulness, and neuroscience to better understand the balance between ambition and well-being. Now a certified Reiki master with training from UCLA in mindfulness and human behavior, Kamey integrates these practices into her leadership.
