About RedCape

WHY A VIRTUAL OFFICE? The way we conduct business is just as smart and fresh as the work itself. When it comes to commerce and creative, our guiding philosophy for both is to never get stuck in the way it's always been done. That's why we're committed to conducting business in a virtual office environment, a growing trend among small creative firms. Our home base is Dallas, but there's no RedCape Towers, suite or central office building. We're a tightly woven network of talented specialists under a common identity, all working toward the same goal: heroic creative that moves people to recognize, reflect and respond to your message. Mark Allen Principal/Creative Director
