ABOUT BRAVE CREATIVE
In August of 2020, Tori Gatanis joined True Blue Butcher & Table’s team as the marketing director, bringing her creativity and strategic vision to the team. Partnering with Bobby Zimmerman, owner and chef of the We Are True Blue brands, Tori quickly made an impact. While Bobby has a strong background in marketing, his time was consumed with the demands of being a chef and running his business. That’s where Tori came in—she not only executed Bobby’s creative ideas, but also brought her own innovative strategies to the table, complementing his vision and creating the brand’s online presence. Together, they realized that the marketing strategies they were implementing for True Blue Butcher and Table weren’t just working—they were making a real difference.
By March of 2021, Tori and Bobby began to wonder: Could they apply this successful formula to other businesses? Could they help broadcast other brands’ unique stories?
That curiosity led to action, and Brave Creative was born.
Tori’s experience with helping Bobby create the ideal online presence for his brand (now five brands) has become the foundation for everything we do.
When it comes to your brand, or any brand for that matter, we fully immersing ourselves in it; from making sure the colors of a specific graphic match your aesthetic to ensuring that the verbiage in a social media caption reflects what you believe in. The best part is…
We’ll have a lot of fun doing it!
We hope that with our help, every client we work with becomes truly proud of their brand and what they’ve created.

TORI GATANIS
PRESIDENT/FOUNDER
Hi there! I’m Tori. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a passion for capturing the world around me. From producing my own talk show, ‘Topics with Tori,’ to directing music videos with friends and documenting the nature of rural South Jersey on my flip video camera, my love for storytelling has only grown stronger over the years.
At Brave Creative, I spend my days brainstorming, planning creative content, and ensuring everything aligns with our clients’ goals and audience interests. Whether I’m on a discovery call, crafting social media captions, or behind the camera capturing the perfect shot, I’m always focused on making our work both on brand and purposeful. And let’s be real, I love keeping up with the latest trends and geeking out over a good marketing podcast.
Outside of work, you’ll likely find me thrifting or daydreaming about decorating my house—it’s just another layer of my creative brain at play. Oh, and being a dog person? Definitely a green flag. team.
