Boston-based creative agency CTP has expanded, opening an office in North Carolina.

The outpost will handle industries that reflect CTP's ad/branding expertise, including education, travel and tourism, tech and financial services.

Grant Pace, CTP’s executive creative director, will lead the new office and work with two staffers with deep ties in the state. Pace previously owned Wilmington, N.C.-based Mercury Advertising, which CTP acquired in 2005.

“North Carolina isn’t just a place — it’s a pulse,” Pace said. “The energy and innovation driving the state’s growth perfectly align with CTP’s core strengths.”

CTP’s work for North Carolina-based clients including Apiture, Red Hat, Pinehurst Resort, Wrightsville Beach and Cameron Art Museum.

Separately, CTP has also worked with the Boston Red Sox, Dunkin’, Dell Technologies, Boston University, Harbor Capital and Eastern Bank.
